February 26-27: Empennage fairings

February 26:   Cut and epoxied cap onto VS fairing.  Laid up new pieces for the HS fairings:  I did the "smooth" side on the wrong side of the bend.  (I want the rough side finished with peel-ply on the inside to bond with the reinforcement that comes next step)

February 27:  Cut and fitted the end piece for the right HS fairing.  Epoxy thickened slightly with cabosil and set this up in place to cure.  Reinforced the inside of the VS fairing with a fillet of flox and laid cloth saturated with epoxy over this.  Should be VERY strong when it cures.
