Port side. Same area as before just without the flash. Backlit from the inside to show areas with less material. This is before I did the belly layup per the manual.

Seeing how ribs 2,3,4 line up. Get a belt sander 4x36, you'll be glad you did. Mine is from Harbor Freight.

Port side after layups and peel ply removed. Notice shape of hole for the angle of the LG socket. I wrapped the LG socket with sandpaper and used it to form the hole.
