February 16: Rudder Bottom Fairing


 Sanded and drilled the aft surface of rudder bottom fairing for the light bracket.  When I did the match drilling, voids in the layup caused it to crack and fall apart.  I cleaned this up with dremel tool and filled the area with flox and then laid two layers of glass cloth.   

Also did a repair to the fairing where I over-cut a bit near the rudder horn.
