I kept a time sheet in March, but did not manage to update this log,
so I'm lumping it all together.
 After closing out the
header tank, March was spent finishing seams: the rear belly panel, the
top seam above the header tank, and the seam above the cabin and along
the dorsal & fin. I first sanded off the gel-coat, the laid in
one layer of cloth. Then I installed the dorsal fairing, and
finished it all off with filler to close out the weave and to blend
around the dorsal fairing.
 I also blended in the wing root fairing. Rather than shape
around the lower front wing attach bolts, I a friend at work silver
soldered flat washers to the head of 4 attach bolts, which I then
tapered and pop-riveted in place. I covered these with milled
fiber mix before blending the fairing into the fuselage.
Along the way, I bonded in the door gas-spring attach points, and the
seatbelt attach points.
All told, it was a dusty month of March.
