After trimming to the scribe lines and attaching in place I wasn't really happy with the fit where the fiberglass faring intersects with the horizontal stab. There was about 1/8 inch gap at the leading edge . I molded the faring to the stab with epoxy / cotton flox , this will be feathered before I paint and will give a nice glove fit.
