Started to make the axle jig. Used a simple setup of first taking large flat blocks of wood and caulking it to the floor somewhere over FS70. Then that allows me to fix the aluminum angle with a single screw once in its final position.

Port side after layups and peel ply removed. Notice shape of hole for the angle of the LG socket. I wrapped the LG socket with sandpaper and used it to form the hole.

Cutting out one of the ribs for the airframe. Going to use the mono trailer as the foundation of the jig. This will make is easy to level the airframe when getting ready for the trr-gear conversion. How do you like my work bench?

Block and tackle used to hoist the front of the aircraft to aid in creating a jig. This hoist reduces the weight to 25%.

I took cardboard and bent it around the socket and overlapped per the manual. Then took this cardboard and made a new template for cutouts. This made the layups go really quick.

The gell coat really gums up the sand paper. Still a bit more to remove.

Rib one after cure of 420 and peel ply removed. Think we used 112g of 420 here due to the odd angle.
