Brief Description:  Starboard strake, lower skin

Re-engaged brain and note that I had not cut the inboard bits of foam to length before profiling. Did so, made it all look lovely and profiled to fuselage. The plans bit of 1" wood won't work for the leading edge because my table is tucked under the spar a bit far. Profile a bit of flooring particle board, (recycled spar jig), and screw it to a 3" wide bit of 9mm mdf so it the plans height and screw it to the table. Need to adjust a few times to match the foam.

and 5-min epoxied the bits together. Before this I taped the table along the R57/R33 lines, and checked the tapes along the spar and fuselage. ...but not along the join between the two inboard bits. Idiot.

Took a break, remembering how well fresh 5-min epoxy joints worked on the turtleback...

Discover the 5-min after a generous cure time had bonded strongly to the tape! And stuck like sh1t to a blanket under the inboard join. Bugger. Bludgeon off with my new 1m steel ruler.

Trim up the bulkheads a bit more and trial fit. B/R33 looks a bit long. Mmmmm
