I searched the archives, but couldn't find a specific solution for my fiberglass problems.
In general, the advice was, "I had to cut and splice the fiberglass to make the skirt fit the fuselage".
I cut it, but it still doesn't fit - not even close.
Here's some pictures to illustrate:
In the first one, you can see that I already cut off the aft portion of the skirt to make the front fit better. Nevertheless, where I'm pointing is where the bottom edge starts to diverge from the fuselage.
In the next image, you can see that there is a big (3/4 inch) gap at the aft portion of the skirt where it is supposed to almost be touching the fuselage.
I tried heating an reforming the fiberglass, but it has way too far to go.
Any ideas on where to cut, or how to reform the skirt?
