Brief Description:  Canopy rear catches, and profiling nose

Notice that the canopy bulges a bit at the rear, and recall seeing other project logs that refer to this, especially Longeze canopies expanding and contracting with temperature changes. Secure the canopy at the rear with hot glue blocks, then tape surrounds and layup some UND strips. I didn't record how many, but imagine it was 6 cut at 45 degrees and each ply 90 degrees to the last. Peel plied edges.

Finished sanding nose to profile, and start sanding the gaps to the plans-indicated 1/8". [Timewarp tomorrow: Don't do this, it looks like CRAP].
