There will be little change in plans with the skirt. A neighbor of mine has the ability to scan my canopy skirts, export the resulting CAD files to a 3D cutter system that will mill a mold out of foam, then we can lay up carbon fiber on the mold. In theory, this could result in a one-piece canopy skirt that perfectly fits my airplane. The key is to get a good scan of a nicely-fitting skirt -- regardless of how that's achieved (clecoes, duct tape, double-sided tape, or whatever). Any imperfections such as slots or ragged edges can be removed in the computer before the mold is cut. So I started with that project by:
1. Slotting both of the skirts in numerous locations along the back halves.
2. Trimming them at the centerline in the back (although the left one will be replaced shortly when I get my shipment form Vans.)
3. Marking the top and bottom trim lines with masking tape, then pencil.
The skirts can now easily be taped flush along the fuselage.
