Turtledeck slots, Green striping

Slots were carefully cut into both sides of the the turtledeck at the location where the aileron and flap cables exit the fuselage.   The slot was cut thin at first, and then widened as needed after several trial fittings until we had decent clearance on all sides of the cables.

More green vinyl striping was added, this tie along the side kick panels and the rudder.  Also, some anti-chafe tape was added to a few locations where panels overlap to prevent abrading the paint.  Hours: 3
