Got a few pieces applied to the top of the stab this morning. Hopefully I will finish the stab later today.
In order to position pieces with cutouts where I want them I use my drawing laid over the surface and use a push pin to mark key spots (corners of cutouts and inboard and outboard edge). Just enough to position the piece properly. The holes are small enough not to show up and are at the edge of an overlap hiding them more.


Those pin holes were to locate this piece. One additional marking was at the stab tip.


I do use a pen to put markings on the white where the overlap should be for the next piece. You might be able to make that out on a few of the pics.


The leading edge and wing tip are finished.
