Brief Description:  Port strake assembly

Flood! Massive thunderstorm overnight, and I get to marvel at the level floor in my shed. The gutter outside the door had leaves in it, but it was a surprise to discover it was full of mud as well.

Trimmed, trimmed and trimmed again until the strake foam fits properly. Repaired the leading edge support and experimented with arrangement of the bulkheads. Hmmmmm.

Noted with suprise I had never trimmed the port bulkheads, so did so, mostly with a router, freehand. Along the way I notice for the first time the nose of both bulkheads is identical, so use the port R57 to mark up a rough, (but better than any seen so far), cut line on the fuselage side.

5 min epoxy together the inboard skin foam, and still have to peel it off with a ruler, but it was much easier this time. Adjusted and 5 min together the outboard bits, adjust and fiddle, then 5 min to the inboard bits, taped underneath this time.

Did a bit more trimming on the bulkheads, I had forgotten to cut out the semi-circular bits.
