Building up the gear covers.

After a bit of time away from the build, I took some time to start the build up of the inside of this gear door cover. A bit of plywood and balsa seemed to do the trick.

The trick was gently forming all the edges to match the gentle curve of the fiberglass doors. Using a bit of c/a to tack it in positions, I’m using the Hysol to bond it all together.

Should do the trick. I’ll wait a day until it all has a time to cure and give it strength test to see if it all sticks.
