Left cuff

More work on the left cuff, this time along the bottom edge.  Sanded a previous coat of filler, then realized that to get a smooth transition I really needed to sand some of the bottom edge of the fiberglass cuff itself.  My goal here was to get a nice smooth transition while trying to use as little filler as possible in order to keep the weight down.  This would have been a lot easier if the wing was off the plane since I was essentially working on the bottom side of the wing, but I really didn't want to bother with that. In any case, after sanding the bottom edge and adding (plus sanding) another coat of filler, we now have a reasonably smooth transition.  Hours 2.0
