Brief Description:  Bubble prepped for cut, ears trimmed, misc outstan

With the canopy frame properly taped in place and the hinges marked the bubble was lifted on again shifted back into place for final marking to be cut. Also as per the instructions on the deck skin I removed the skin and 'adjusted' all areas that were 'bumpy' and not lying flush with the now perfectly aligned shroud skin.

I read a bunch on where the canopy cutlines should be and shifted the bubble so that I got a good centerline match (marked a centerline on the deck and spanned a line across the bubble lateral center) then marked the range of the roll bar then marked the center cut line across the bubble along the roll bar center.

Also marked out all trimming lines, all parts of the acrylic that needed to be trimmed before fitting and the areas of vinyl I had to trim all along the edges which were also masked up so that shavings and dust didnt get trapped under and scratch the bubble.

Waiting for some crucial supplies to arrive but got a little stuck without them so went back to ciompleting so recent outstanding tasks starting with the landing gear spats and spat brackets.
