Just finished up my fuel cap / Cobra reinforcement tonight.

2BID with PeelPly

1/8" Balsa

1BID



I will list details in case anyone is interested:



2 BID from seam of fuse, to door frame, and 3" aft of Cobra and above

filler rebate.

Staggered each layer 1/2" shorter aft of Cobra and above filler.

After 2BID I covered with peel ply and let cure.

I bonded in place 1/8" balsa 6.5" wide. I selected 4" wide Balsa that was

long grain, very flexible width, to conform to fuse curve. I used JB Weld

Kwik (4 minute) buttered Balsa with Spackle knife. I sanded the ends of

balsa down to 1/16" prior to bondimg in place.

Then floxed edges of Balsa and laid up final BID.



I find JBing small pieces is a reasonable procedure if you don't have

necessary stuff for vacuum bagging.



I covered filler hole with Balsa. Once cured will cut filler hole, dig out

some Balsa and fill with flox.

Hello Garry



"Sorry, but what's a "Cobra"?"



The "Cobra" is the roto molded piece of white plastic that goes between

the filler cap and the fuel tank rubber elbow, it looks like the snake.
