| The kit received from Hendricks is shown above with a photo of extended step. | |

| The frame for the step was mounted on the face of a 3/4 inch
plywood board that was bonded to the fron of the bulkhead. This was done to move the step forward and clear of the bulkhead as well as to a better position on the wind root. |

| The above photos show the process of filling around the opening
for the step. Since the step is positioned within the flaired portion of the wing, the step must be filled on the bottom and around it for producing a good seal. I also added some fill to the side of the step to form a taper. This should provide for a more seal when the step is retracted. The fill process will need to be ground down once everything is filled in. |
