Brief Description:  Left Wing BL31 rib repair

Trimmed all layups. Another f*&king bubble in the wing rib. This one is not in a critical location and injectable, but I wonder if I have lost my building mojo, or my 17C limit for building is too low???

Installed CS-150 bearing.

Marked out and cut Left Aileron. Used Right Aileron as a cross check.

Started stripping foam from edges of cove. Discovered the peel ply comes off MUCH easier if you cut all the foam off first! Whilst prising out bits of foam around the staples broke a ragged bit of hacksaw blade ground to a point that I have used since the start of the project. Was sad for a bit, then made another from a new blade, a bit longer too.

Note as I leave the shed I had marked up the cuts for the hinges on the BOTTOM surface of the wing. Idiot!!! Removed marks in case tomorrow's me forgets... Consequence of using the Right Aileron as a reference perhaps?
