Empennage, Fairings (Part 7)

In Part 4, I completed the work on the Tail Light Adaptor Ring on the bottom of the Rudder Fairing.  The last thing I needed to do was enlarge the center hole enough for the rear of the AEROLED Suntail to pass through the Fairing.  I used step bit and enlarged the hole one step at a time.  Ultimately, 1/2” was the size that worked.  Here is what it looks like.

In this picture, you can see the aft side of the Suntail showing what needs to clear the Fairing.

The screws aren’t installed in the Suntail, but here is what it will look like in the Fairing.
