Brief Description:  Fuselage reinforcement / Trim MLG Strut

Repeated last layup on Port side, 5 x BID. Have now pretty well run out of BID...

Marked out 95" on inside of Main Landing Gear Bow using plastering joint tape, filament tape seems to have gone out of fashion, according to Bunnings Aerospace. Nice lady there took me to the plastering section, I say, "No, not what I was after, erm, but it would do the job. But I won't buy it I already have lots. Thanks!" Nice lady departs with a faintly disapproving look...

Plans don't mention it, but marked the strut centerline. Was handy to be able to draw through the tape.

Cut strut to lengthon STBD side, at 8 degree angle. Plans don't really elaborate, but figure should be cut square across the strut, rather than square from tip-to-tip. If I'm wrong will have to trim again. Cut with multitool, using edge of table to hold the right angle.
