More fitting of the gear weldments - 2 hours

Not much to report, still working away on getting the holes cut for the landing gear weldments. I do not want to make any mistakes here so it is taking me a long time to get this done. I just don't trust the template so I'm afraid to cut up to the line.

I'm able to check the scallops on the F-704 flange with the holes I've made in the skin.
 

 
I have a bunch more cutting to do before I match the scallops in the flange.

At this point I am able to confirm that my paper template is correct and the hole is slightly undersized already.
