Thanks, Graig, but I was writing about the very first lay up. The bid in the
box. I did one by trying to lay it up with one big sheet of bid. Because the
bid is a flat sheet it took some doing to get it in the form of the box. I
had to cut the four corners. I then lay out the two sheet on a wax paper
design.
I then put this into the other baggage compartment. It quickly became a
big mess. I know I have some air bubbles, but I could not work them out.
I'm thinking that I need to cut the bid into three pieces. One long piece
from
the tunnel to the fuselage side then the front piece and back piece.

the bottom last, with about a 50mm overlap I did the ply wood the same way and
then carefully stuffed it all with plastic shopping bags to keep some pressure
on the layups in the really tight corners the bags dont stick and can be easily
removed after care, this gave me a nice finish that almost looks like its
been vaccum bagged

I just started chapter 29 for the tri gear. On page 29-2 Issue 3. It states
to lay up two plies of "bid" at 45 degrees over the entire are up to the top
level of the central tunnel.
I just did one ply and it was the most difficult lay up so far. There are no
measuremnts given and the cloth folds onto its self while I tried to do the lay
up.
It seems the there should be a better way of doing this lay-up. Has somebody
come up with a good method? I looked at all the pictures, but they only show
the finished product.
