Cleaning up tailfairing
Last night our bodyman/friend suggested building a small 'ramp' in front of the tail fairing so that "the air don't run into it" and we agreed. Here is the final result.......neat looking, http://img105.imageshack.us/img105/906/tailfairing4ku.jpg[/IMG][/url]

Ramp
I can't quite tell from the pic what you did. Did you build up a bit on the aluminum part of the fuselage to provide a smooth transition to the fiberglass fairing?

Fairing
Yes, we did,
although it doesn't show very well in the photo. We masked the fairing down to the aluminum skin and laid green bondo for about 3 inches forward and cleaned a groove between the fairing and the bondo in order to be able to remove the fairing later,

Smooth
It is very hard to tell, which of course is good. Very smooth transition. It's gotta be good for a knot or two!

I simply beveled the front edge of the glass on mine. 6 vs half dozen I guess. The fairing on mine sat pretty flush.
