Continued working on the windshield fairings:
1. Sanded the left "ramp" fairing and got it into a good basic shape. It still needs a lot of filling and sanding.
2. Spent a lot of time sanding the top fairing, trying to take the forward edge down to near-plexiglass level, without going too far. I used the 60-grit sanding block again, going right onto the electrical tape, it this seems to be working well to establish a basic shape. Then I switched to 180-grit, then 320 grit.
3. When I laid up the top fairing a few days ago, there were several places on the right side where the "ramp" I'd made for the skirt pocket was perhaps a bit tall. This let the fiberglass layup droop over the edge a bit. Today, I began correcting this by doing a bunch of thin layups along the aft edge of the fairing. I also did some 16" layups along the right side of the top fairing.
4. I also did some fiberglass layups at the forward edge of the right "pocket" to improve the shape where it meets the fuselage. Covered all the layups with peel ply.
5. Mixed up some slurry micro with a bit of cabosil and spread it on the left ramp fairing to fill some of the larger inconsistencies there.
6. Worked some more on feathering the forward edge of the bottom fairing to the top fuselage skin.
7. Used some spot putty filler to fill the leading edge of the upper fairing where it meets the windshield.
