Found one fabric attach plate where we had not yet added filler to smooth over some of the rivet heads, so some lightweight filler was added, and then sanded smooth once dried.

Also, 6 plastic fairleads were installed in the tail section which are guides for the rudder and elevator cables. Had some difficulty installing the metal clips at first, but then discovered a trick that helped which was to use a C-Clamp to hold the metal clip right against plastic fairlead, and then pop the clip in place with a small screwdriver. I learned my lesson after fighting with the first few clips while just trying to use a pair of needle-nose pliers. I was able to get them on with the pliers, but it was a fight. The trick with the C-clamp seemed to work well, though. Hours: 1.5
