Hi All

Is there any reason why I should not trim the belly pan sides (At the fus
fillets) when fitting it to the fus.???

Anyone??

[I would imagine that it would be ok to do so, but think that it would 
be wiser to wait until it's time to fit the flaps so you can get all the 
fairing looking correct.  After trimming my horz stab TE early on 
and knowing what I know now, I refuse to trim anything that doesn't 
need to be trimmed until I'm absolutely sure the time is right and 
that there's no chance of impacting anything else negatively down the 
path by doing so.
