Brief Description: MLG Attach Tab completion

Prepped and floxed in MKMGA. Thanks again Cozy Grrls, lovely product. Floxed on washers and applied leftover flox as fillet inside Tab. Applied duct tape outside layup area and taped up ends of MKMGA Filled gaps with foam, 3/4" LAF PORT and wing foam STBD. Wing foam much easier and better result & micro'd Used hole punch to penetrate outer plies for MKMGA then 2 x BID overall. Put 1 x UNI patch over damaged exterior ply STBD side MLG Strut. 4 hours later knife trimmed for the first time. Mmmmm. worked OK and saved a lot of trimming, but delam seemed far too likely an outcome.

MKMGA floxed in, shaping foam fill bits

Layup on outside of tabs

First attempt knife trim
