Canopy skirts and windscreen

The third and the final stage in building the canopy is really the fiberglass skirts. As expected out of the box fit for the skirt is poor. Had to spend quite a bit of time (10 hrs) trimming and fitting (With some layups at the aft end). Here is the canopy skirt trimmed, fitted and primed:
 
 
 
We also tackled laying up fiberglass fairing around the windscreen and above the roll bar. Here are the fiberglass pieces measured and cut:
 

 
The final product, dry and sanded. We still need to prime, but all in all this bit is done (10 hrs) !


 
Here is how it looks like. The canopy skirt is cleco-ed. We are waiting on an additional order of Sikaflex 295UV and will bond it once it arrives!
