Finished the right gear leg - 3 hours

Again, a very slow tedious process checking the gear leg, trimming, fitting, checking, trimming, over and over again. I suppose I could have done this much faster but I had little confidence in the template. (The few plans "gotchas" recently have made me cautious).

I managed to get the hole perfectly cut to accept the gear leg on the right side.

But as I clecoed the skin down, I saw that I had a bit more cutting to do to open up the sides and towards the forward firewall. Again, slow and steady a trimmed away.

Finally done the right side!
