Brief Description:  Working skirt tight spots and curves

Still working on the canopy skirt identifying and trying to relieve tight spots along its edges. I want a snug fit but don't want the skirt chafing the skin if it can be helped. You will see in the photos some stickers noting tight spots. What I am doing is here is trying to relieve the problem spots by sanding. I would like to get a final fit that allows a strip of felt-like material to be attached around the edges of the skirt to keep the glass from rubbing the fuselage skin.

The fit and overall look is improving bu it is a tedious process, very much trial and error. I really don't like fiberglass work!
