Brief Description:  Removing & repairing the left wing.

Was underneath fitting the flaps when I noticed a damaged area on lower wing skin where it abutted the fuselage. The wing had been fitted before - so no idea why it didn't have enough clearance when refitted. The damage is only cosmetic, but I couldn't get at it to repair it without removing the wing .....

So had to undo all the wing mounting and wiring work - and take the left wing off.

Made a larger clearance cut-out, then glassed up the damaged area. Will need to glass it once more, then touch-up paint the skin and refit the wing .....
