REFLECTOR: Lay up c question

Hey Matt, 

I think you are talking about where it says in the manual (pg 2-29 of xl-rg) "Keep layups forward of the rudder bellcrank cutout"

If you try and do that, the layups don't fit. What I did was to create a glass shell over the bellcrank cutout and when cured,
you can glass over the bellcrank cutout, leaving the bellcrank cutout small hallow space. Before covering the bellcrank cutout
shell, use some scrap BID and glass the foam inside of the bellcrank cutout. This makes a bellcrank cavity that has glass on 
all sides. 

I included some pics of what I mean with the glass shell. 

Hope this helps,

Jack Prock

    I have all of my glass cut for lay up c of the wing/winglet joint. I have my wing bottom up, winglet outside surface facing me. I have the foam installed and formed. My question is.... what to do with all of the glass which extends past the forward edge of the rudder crank box.  Measured from the area of the LE, the forward edge of the box is about 16 inches aft. The glass is 20 inches wide. 
    Do I:
    1. Cut the class and lay it up inside the box walls?
    2. Cut the glass around the box area?
    3. Something else?
    Matt
