Door work, magnetometer mount | 1.9.2021
Started out by sanding down that interior door window micro. I knew I'd hate this... Still needs to be re-taped and then cleaned up with one more pass of micro. Then sanded... again. This is honestly the first time I've *not* enjoyed my time building the plane. I have like 4 hours just on this stupid window interior fairing detail so far. /rant
Once that was done, I moved on to glassing in the magnetometer mount. Surfaces were prepped, then it was glued in place with a mixture of epoxy, shredded glass fiber, and cabo. The magnetometer was leveled and then aligned with the centerline of the plane and left to cure.

Lastly, I filled the gaps around the foam in the door strake detail with micro. This will get sanded flush and then one ply of bid over top to finish it out.
