Determining of fabric opening size and location for gear

Working on determining size of bow in bottom stringer, and size of hole that will be needed in fabric to feed the Grove gear through the hole.  We tested a few different positions of the bottom stringer, used paper to simulate the fabric, and then fed the gear through rectangular holes in the paper to determine if the hole would be large enough to get the gear through.  We determined that this method of installing the gear will work, but still need to finalize the position of the bottom stringer and the location/size of the hole in the fabric.     EJB, MHC  Hours: 0.5
