  • Step 2 GLASSING THE INSIDE SURFACE FOR WET LAYUP

I used my router to route 4 small slots into the front shoulder support piece.  This allowed the piece of aluminum, which the nut plate for the shoulder harness bolts is riveted to, to "key" into this slot, thus, preventing it from rotating.  In this manner I was able to install those aluminum pieces, after the nut plates were installed, before I did the inside layup or installed the should support into the fuselage.  This prevented having to cut holes into the shoulder support when those pieces are installed.
I made this "jig" out of corrugated paper to hold the shoulder rest while it started to set up.  Not easy to see here, but present, are the aluminum pieces mentioned in the step above.
Next step is Glassing the Outside
