Rebel - Vertical Fin Fairing

[Rich Dodson]

Good Morning Gents!

After only one full year of building, I have five tail feathers built and I am working on the sixth (the vertical fin/stabilizer). Ha! "Slow build" given a new definition here.

From the many photos of other Rebels that I have looked at, folks put a nice fairing running from this fin's leading edge down to the empennage. I would, eventually, like to do that too.

How would this fairing be attached to the fin? Should I put some nutplates in the leading edge and skins pre-emptively before I rivet the structure closed? Or do I just drill and rivet it on later?

Thanks as always!
