Glassing.
First picture shows the 'tools of the trade'.
I'm using Ziroli's 1 0z FG cloth on the wings.
Normally, I would do the whole wing with one piece of cloth but, with only 1 roll left in my stock, I went the economy way and cut enough to do the out wing section with the 3' wide FG cloth.
A bondo applicator works well for me in getting a thin layer of resin over the cloth.
After the resin dried, the excess cloth around the bottom edges were sanded off.
I put some masking tape over the gun threads to keep stray finishing resin from getting on them.
Next, the center section was covered.

Fuse:
Some more 'easy sand' around the base of the vertical fin.

Vertical fin:
CA'ed some 1/64" thick ply along the trailing edge of the fin.
I'm using the ply over the G-10 as the ply is more flexible covering the rounded edges of the tips of the fin and stab.
