I am close to finishing up my HS and will be doing so this week. I have
got to wondering about whether I should do the tips when it's done or
just wait and do all of them at the end.
I lean towards the latter because I'm afraid of fiberglass, and,
seriously, it seems to make more sense to do it all at once (though I
guess that is going to mean several weeks of hell all at once).
Are there any good reasons I should do the tail tips earlier?

Hi Paul-
I waited til the end and glad I did. It gave me a lot more time to look at
other planes and decide how I wanted to attach them- actually changed my mind a
couple of times before committing to final arrangement. Doing all at same
time probably will save some time, and your materials/skills will be fresher.
You WILL have to deal with that cowling & the gear legs eventually!

Just to give you a taste of the fun to come. Personally,
I'd wait. You will have more experience later, and they
will turn out better. I tried to get fancy with mine,
and they turned out terrible. If I had waited until I
had the chance to see other people's empennage tips, I
would have just made them very simple. I have a feeling
that I'll be re-doing mine, at least the elevator
tips. Yuck.

It's really personal choice. No technical or building issues either
way. I got my tail F/G started while waiting for my wings to arrive.
Did the same with the wing tips, waiting for the fuselage. None of it
is done because the new stuff arrived, but at least some of the work is
done.

That settles it. I'll stick with Al & steel for now and do all the
glass work at once.
Thx.

Paul,
I did my "tail tips" while I was waiting on the wing kit.
I'm glad I did. It's a bunch of work already done.
The "doing it all at once" idea sounds logical but I don't think it has any
real merit. It doesn't really take that long to get set up, and I didn't
think it was all that messy either. Jump in!
If you have more of the kit there to work on it really won't make any
difference. It's all got to get done.
Mark
