Brief Description:  Doghouse layups

Busy Day. I cut all of the (dozens) of triax pieces for the doghouse layups and the “pads” for the fuselage fore and aft of the doghouse, but will do those later. The doghouse layups took abut 280g of epoxy. As my new norm, I'm wetting-out the cloth on 9-mil plastic sheet, adding the second or third piece, covering with a second piece of plastic, then rolling the extra epoxy to the edges. Today, I let the lay-ups setup in the “warm box (~82F) for a few hours before applying them. Fresh epoxy with cabo was applied to the canard to ensure a good bond.
