Brief Description: Trimming AFT LDG Gear Attach Pad to WL 12.35
I made a little router guide to clamp into postion on the fuselage side to trim the tops of the AFT BID stacks to WL 12.35. The guide was just made up of some scraps. The guide edge was cut with the router one the fence was glued in postion. That way the guide edge was the precise cut line for the bit. I clamped this into position on the line I had marked at WL 12.35. I then set the depth close to cutting through the fifeteen plys and let her rip. That worked great on one side. On the other side I flew two close to the sun and cut into the underlying 6 ply layup slightly at one end. For that one sanded the damaged area to taper and put a couple small repair plys of BID. After cure I sanded this area back flat, which removed most of the second small top repair ply.
