The manual states to use 3-BID at the rib-fuselage junctures.  This point is
not clearly stated, I'll admit, but it does say 3-BID.  The illustration is
rather vague since it doesn't show that upper area you're referring to.  You
should not add these until after you add the 12-BID load transfer pad.  (Or if
you do, don't put the 3-BID where the 12 BID will go later)

Marv is correct -- a generous micro fillet is required.  I found the layup to
be quite easy when the aircraft is upside down.

By the way, a goodly fraction of the LC20 wheel wells I've examined at Oshkosh
-- maybe a third of them -- have forgotten to include the 3-BID layup.
