Brief Description:  Port strake top skin installation

Removed all clamps, braces, ropes and lumber.

Port strake follows the curve of the ribs much more closely, I suspect because I gouged out the foam in the slots deeper. Tip is kicked up a bit, so hot glued some strips of wood from midspan to the tip, and then on to the wing root, to make all straight.

Trimmed the port OD bulkhead to match this new paradigm, but can't be bothered warming the shed up to install it.

Prepared the site for the port Ugolini fuel capacitance probe, same as starboard.

Spent some time with a straight edge mapping 1mm contour lines on the dip in the starboard strake leading edge, Maximum depth in the middle is 4.5mm. Am thinking I might screed some dry micro here, under the outer skin. I'll do the bottom skin first.
