Removing foam for turbine mounts


Making turbine cut out pattern on card stock


Turbine cut out shape transferred to card stock


Turbine template taped to aft fuse


Pattern transferred to foam


Foam removal started with knife


I was concerned about the thickness of foam remaining after fitting turbine in the fuse but I think it turned out OK


Foam nibbled out with hot wire cutter...


...and flush cut saw


I removed little by little trying to avoid a big mistake in cutting away the foam


Turbine cavity in aft fuse


Test fit seems OK
