Initial layup for the tailbeacon fairing. I wet sanded the 3D printed mold until it was smooth. Then I painted it, sanded some more, and covered it with thin plastic packing tape. I waxed the tape for release and laid up one ply to start.

Over 5 hours flying today. We crossed the 250 hour total time mark.

Remove and replace. We had one 2x4 bolted to the case and one on the prop hub. With 2 people easy to do on the hoist that way.

Bummer. I'd say look at the big picture though. Can you find a CFI buddy to make the trip with you? Or someone insurable?
