Today starts the trimming of the tailcone fairing for the RV-12 airplane.
Step 1: Drill the two 3/4" holes with a unibit as called out by Van's Aircraft in the RV-12 airplane plans. Also drill the 4 #30 holes in the sides of the tailcone fairing.
Step 2: Trim the extra material from the lower tail cone fairing and sand to the scribed line. DO NOT remove the material between the two 3/4" holes at this time.
Step 3: Drill a 3/4" hole in the upper tail fairing. Also drill two #30 holes in the sides and top of the upper fairing as directed by Van's Aircraft.
Step 4: Trim the extra material from the top tailcone fairing and sand to the scribed line.
Builder's note: To fit the tail cone fairing onto the RV-12. I need to remove the Stabilator trim system as pictured. This completes todays work session on the RV-12 airplane kit.
