I started this task by going back and reviewing Larry Larson's excellent Kit Plane magazine articles, as well as several build logs on VAF. By the time I had a plan together it was time to pick up RJ and run him across town to work, so I stopped on the way back at Lowes and picked up some frog tape and other supplies. The frog tape is so that my sharpie lines are more easily visible. The whole area will be covered with mylar packing tape and mold release before wet layup. When I got back in the shop this afternoon, I taped and masked a large portion of the fuselage, then after quite a bit of careful measuring, layer out sharpie lines in the final shape of the canopy skirt. The plan is to bridge the empty gaps with plastic sheet and mylar tape, then layup 5 plies of 8oz fiberglass oversized. Once it cures, I'll transfer the existing sharpie lines directly through the layup, pop it off the airplane, trim and finish sand, then permanently bond it back on with Sikaflex.
