I went ahead and did the course. Not bad and it did clear up a number of questions.
The sad part is the "Maryland 3" - I used to fly VFR between them back in
the '60s....

Hi Shannon,
I'm sure by now you have all the tips and tricks required. To give you
more trouble deciding, here's how I did it.
Lay up a fibreglass sheet using 2 or 3 layers of thin (circa 200gsm)
glass cloth on a flat surface, with release agent on one side and peel
ply on the other, weight it down and let it cure. Take the HS / rudder
fairing and cut out the sheet so it is about 1/2" oversize all round.
Tape the sheet to the fairing with the rough surface (peel ply removed)
on the inside of the fairing. Bond it using additional glass cloth and
glass tape around the edges.
The glass sheet obviously has to be flexible enough to adapt to the
curved rear edges of the fairing. After laying up the cured sheet to
the fairings, I clecoed the fairings to the HS with the elevator
installed and wedged a sheet of 1/8" to 3/16" thick foam between the
elevator horn and the sheet to hold it in place while the bond cured.
That way the gap was guaranteed and they even took a nice slightly
concave shape conforming to the elevator horns.
Afterwards trim and sand around the outside.
Have fun!

completely frustrated. I have been working on one for probably 40 hours
now and don't see the end in sight. I first had issues with the
fiberglass cloth adhering to the outside of the fairing. Since its a
knife like edge, it would de-bond every time I tried to remove the
temporary foam rib. I then decided to just leave the foam rib and glass
it in place. That seemed to do the trick and everything looked great
until I clecoed it in place. I have interference in the middle of the
outside layer of cloth. I could just sand an 1/8" dimple in the middle,
but that doesn't seem right.
