After reading this post I went to my Europa, which is in the middle of a
tri-gear
conversion, and took some pictures of the belly in the area shown in your photos
and was a little surprised. I used a light, put in the hole for the spar,
and shined it down and back towards the landing gear layups. What I noticed
is there is an 1/4 of an area that isn't as reinforced as the rest of the 10"
circle around the LG hole.
This may be the reason for the buckle/dent in the skin. I also have not put the
bottom layup on the belly yet but noticed that the skin can dent inwards with
little pressure.
