The simple answer is that the LAA wanted the best possible bond between the
bearing and the skin.
It is a difficult layup to do which is why I have done so many other peoples
aircraft. Make sure you make a reasonable radius from the "pit" onto the
skin.
The two layers of BID on the surface should only be about 0.6mm thick and
when flared in with some filler are not noticeable. I have not detected any
noticeable change in handling so I assume the aerodynamics are OK
