REFLECTOR: Suprise in my duct

[Terry Miles]

There's a double a bid below and I used the gray stuff to bond the top
channel and then two layers of bid over the top flangles.  I have likely
greater longditudinal stiffness than factory construction recommended
bonding instructions.  Everything peel plied.

What about the integrity of the fuselage?  That seems like a pretty long
area to be removing the inner shell.  Maybe the factory should comment
on this.
