With the carpet drying in place, I began to make cuts into an expensive hull. Surely the first flight won't be this nerve-racking! I got the rear marked per specifications, then cut for the boom tube. The manual says to go ahead and make all these cuts, but I think I'll put the airframe in first to make sure this cut is correct before doing the rest. Still waiting for the carpet to set, before I can do that, though.
UPDATE: Adding third picture of the carpet finished and cut the next day.
