Began working on the tail fairing panels by cutting out template from plans on poster paper and mocking it up on the fuselage. Because the tail skin was installed upside down and needed extra trimming, will need to modify plans template. Expanded template forward and outboard to better match profile of upper fuselage and cover extra gap on horizontal stabilizer. After making the template out of poster board, transferred the pattern to .025 aluminum sheet and began to bend fairings into place. Will need some more work after annealing to better fit the gap.
