Chapter 18 Canopy



Microed the back edge of the turtle back,
Installed the Clark foam and plates for the rudder pulleys.




.
Inside engine mount reinforcement complete. 8 layers of BID, then the AL hard points then a layer of BID over those.   Took about 3 hours to cut the glass, cut and shape the aluminum and glass them in.   Not very comfortable.   One builder suggested doing the layups in a box, then transferring it.   I think I'd do that next time to avoid the discomfort of kneeling, squatting and setting back here.

  The front edges need trimmed and sanded.   These should be a little more rounded rather than square so here's a few extra ounces of weight.  OTOH, it might get used to help support a shelf for equipment that's going to get stuffed in here.
