Well, there is the saying measure twice, cut once. I think I need to amend it tonight and say OPEN YOUR EYES and THINK before measuring the first or second time.
I layed out and cut my NACA vent backwards on my left side for rear vents. (After the skin was on the tail)
-- Followed the directions, but just getting a link for the photo sorry it did not embed.
Options as I see them:
1. Replace entire left skin...... NOT going to happen
2. Leave as is, use epoxy filler to fill in missing skin.
3. Add a large doubler under the entire NACA vent and recut the hole, still having to add some filler where the skin is missing.
4. Do #3, but also add small pieces in front of the doubler to bring flush to the skin.
5. ?????
Questions, Do I need to add the doubler? What should I fill it with?
I can't believe I did this... ARRRGGG.
