Brief Description:  Canopy Skirt Sikaflexed to canopy!

Last night I realized that the canopy skirt was moving just a little at the back when closing against the fuselage. That meant any final fitting I was doing was a bit of a waste of time. It was time to attach the skirt to the canopy....and I was pretty nervous about it.

Today, I attacked that project and it went remarkably well. The electrical tape that I put right on the edge of the skirt peeled off and took the squeeze out with it...looks as good as I can hope for. So, let that set up for a day or two, flip the canopy onto it's top and run a bead of sikaflex along the bottom edge of canopy to skirt and I'll be happy.

Then I can get back to shaping and sanding....this canopy skirt hasn't been an easy thing by any means but I think it's turning out pretty well.
