Applied fiberglass layups to create the front canopy fairing
23 May 2017 5.5 hours

Cut-out fiberglass patterns according to Van's plans

Added additional masking tape

First layer of fiberglass ready to wet-up. I wet it up and sandwiched it between layers of cling film. Then cut out the pattern. According to the plans this help the layup hold it's shape while you transfer it onto on the plane

The initial layer is saturated with epoxy dyed black, since it's visible from the inside. It's blends nice with the glare shield

First layer on

All layers applied

Applied peel-ply..time to let it set overnight...then let the sanding begin!
