Happy Independence Day America! God, please continue to bless America! It was 20 years ago that I first solo of an airplane...I used to always try to fly on July 4th - but it wasn't in the cards this year, so I tried to get a little closer to finishing my plane, so that I can have the freedom to fly whenever!
I cut the left side down to just about the final cut...as far as I can tell. It was mostly the aft end - trying to get it to lay down right. I then made the cuts on the right side and did "most" of the aft marking and cutting. I put two clecos in the right side to hold it in the same orientation while I took it off and put it on repeatedly to mark and cut... The aft curve on the right side is going to be problematic as far as fit. It doesn't follow the same contour as the fuselage. However, I am able to get the skirt to follow the contour down the aft end to the fuselage, so I have that going for me.
