Chapter 21 - Strakes - update

After test fitting the top skin, determined that .2" needs trimmed.  The Fein tool worked well.   Still to cold to do glass work  so BAB, TTE, OD and TLE aren't glassed in yet.
Warmed up enough to glass in BAB, TTE & OD.   I used a 1x2 and aligned the ribs using a laser pointed over the canard's BL33 & 57 marks hitting marks measured from the center of the firewall.

TLE in position for glassing.   The Craftsman shop light stands are handy.

720" of 2" wide BID fiberglass, about 60 feet of 3" wide peel ply, 30+ feet of packing tape and a few batches of epoxy later.... A little trimming and the bottom skin goes on.
