Questions and more questions

I'm at the poit of fitting the VS skin to the rib nose and noticed that it seems a bit large for the curvature of the skin as delivered. Do I need to trim/flute the rib nose OR reshape the skin so that it follows the exact shape of the ribs, and flattening the front of the VS with 2 sharp curves to follow the flanges?

Also, how many others have placed conduit/wiring provisions in the VS so that antennas/lights/cameras can be placed at the top of the stabilizer?

Shave off about 1/8". It's not in the instructions, but if you look at section 8, it tells you to do it for ribs on the horizontal stabilizer.

By the way, Mike... Time to upgrade your signature from "prospective" to "full speed ahead"!
