Detail of floxed corner:
And the finished piece (now in the garage after cure and knife trim):
The pretty much finished part is a couple of air bubbles I found where the foam had been 5-minute epoxied to the workbench (you can see them in the foreground of the pic). I don't think that I let the micro cure in the holes long enough before I glassed out the back. Should be a pretty simple repair.Next will be bulkheads F-22 and F-28. Before I can start on those I have a lot of drawing tracing to be done. I found that setting up my first seatback bulkhead (yeah, guess I forgot to mention that - it didn't go well, but after doing some more online research I've found where I went wrong. Aircraft Spruce, in their wisdom, supplies you with two pieces of the 3/4" foam used in this step. In my research I saw that others had benefited from that as well so I didn't feel too bad.) set up on a card table with a bright light works very well for my drawing tracings.

"Bout time you posted some more! Thanks for the update!
Cool update. Another good way to do tracing is to post the original on a window, tape the paper on which you will tract over the original with drafting tape, and trace away. I have to do this from time to time with engineering drawings. It might not work so well in the dead of night as it does on a sunny day. - Dad
