More Fuselage Tapes

We continued our work on the finishing tapes for the fuselage.  We installed a tape above the left window, several tapes around both door openings, and also applied 3" tapes around the top and front of the vertical stabilizer.  This included a small section of special bias tape which conforms nicely to the front curve of the vertical stabilizer.  We actually ran out of 3" tape during part of this job, but had some extra 4" tape, so we trimmed an inch off with pinking shears to make our own 3" tape.  Lastly, we applied glue for the two long tapes at the bottom edge of the fuselage, but didn't install those tapes yet.  Hours: 7.5

Taping around this window is complete
