Skinning the hull

Progress, the lift duct goes in place (sorry folks no pics of the building of it, I was so excited I forgot to take them.)
Be careful here though the plans have a slight error. They tell you the measurements to make your cuts but if you follow them you get to start again. The top measurement is out a bit to give you the proper angle for the duct if you follow directions you get a vertical duct, not as efficient for lift.

You get an idea how the duct is formed from this one, the forming disks are still in until the fiber glassing is done to
keep it rigid. Notice R-2 is missing a chunk (boy did that mess with my mind when I had to cut through that).

The large square opening is going to help efficiency when filled and help keep water from splashing up into the lift duct.

Doesn't that look spiffy? I just had to take a pic with the disks finally kicked out (yes, I kicked them out)
