Brief Description:  Tips get filler and primer

The tips cured perfectly overnight and are now 4 plies carbon over poplar and very rigid which is good. Total weight for both is only .5lbs so I'm not concerned. I decided to clean em up, and test fit them to the canard with the elevators on for clearance. The right elevator will need to be sanded a bit to allow at least 1/16" clearance like the left elevator but that will be easy enough.
After removing the tips, I added filler to both the canard and tips to fair them into each other. I then installed them and sanded them to contour together. The tips needed far less filler than I expected which is nice and I'm really diggin the look. 2 coats of primer for both tips was up next and we'll get em wet sanded along with the canard, and elevators tomorow. My Monday goal is to have everything in the shop under another round of primer before the day is over. We'll have to see how things go, and how many evil pin holes want to show up :)
