Referencing pictures of CzechMate’s tail section, I outlined the curvature of the fin fairing using 1/4” red vinyl tape — top and bottom, and on each side of the fuse. Tim and I mixed-up micro-balloons and resin until we achieved a “peanut-butter” consistency, and slathered-it-in to completely fill-in and more accurately shape the fairing.







Tim taped the top (at the fin), opting not to tape the bottom (at the stab).
