Forward Canopy Fiberglass

 Morning all. Catching up on my posting as I have quite a back log of pictures to get through here. I have been working on the canopy. After installing the actual wind screen, I need to dress it in with a few layers of fiberglass and a "bondo-like" material to make it a happy aerodynamic shape. 


Starting with the Fiberglass Layup. Strips are cut to transition between the aluminum deck and the plexi. I did around 6 layers progressively getting smaller while building up. 











Then we use AwlFair which is a two part filler material which won't shrink. This will be applied and sanded many times to get the final smooth shape needed. Think airflow.
