Brief Description:  Landing Gear Hardpoint Layup Preparation

Both the front and aft landing gear bulkheads have hard points for the landing gear that are 0.25" thick solid fiberglass. In preparation for this layup of 22-25 layers of fiberglass, a piece of paper was taped over a smooth, flat area of the worktable. A 12" x 8" rectangle was marked on the paper with a felt tipped pen. Next a piece of saran wtap was placed over the rectangle. Scrap pieces of 0.25" foam were taped on all 4 sides of the rectangle to be used as guides in determining when the 0.25" fiberglass thickness is achieved.

Lastly, a cardboard template (roughly 9"x13") was made to be used as a guide for cutting out the 22+ pieces of cloth.
