My empennage fairing doesn't lay smooth against the verticle stab. I'm planning to trim back the edge an inch or so and lay up a new edge that will look better. Judging from the nice fairings I've seen many have done this. Any hints from you fiberglass geniuses. Thanks, John

I had to rework my fairing on one side. Check out my web site for the details.

Done the same
Mine was really bad, I reworked it to only need marginal screws and she sits nice and firm.
Dont know if my method is the best but it worked for me check it out

Heat
Thanks Bill. I think I tried the heat gun. (It's been 3 or 4 years since I mounted the fairing with the thought that I'd get back to it.) I'm well into my second condition inspection, and still have many little improvements and fixes to get done before 50JP is "right". Trouble is the finish line keeps moving. John
