I've finished the empennage except for fiberglass, and the wings won't be here for a month. It must be time to learn about fiberglass. I'd appreciate any direction in finding websites (especially video) about it. YouTube shows nothing when searching "Van's Aircraft Fiberglass" or similar.
I spent a long time talking to a guy at West Marine. I think I'm to the point where I can get started on some practice pieces, but here's the pressing issue:
What to do with the forward ends of the horizontal stabilizer tips? I can get the end glassed or Bondoed or whatever, but that leaves the lead inaccessible. But I'll have to drill the lead before I can fly. So, do I leave it uncovered until paint time? Glass over the lead and drill through it?
Thanks in advance.
