Brief Description:  Canopy frame fill profiling, more vents

In short bursts over the last week or so profiled the fill, contemplated, considered, rested, (it is HARD work, the most physically intensive part of the build so far), adjusted, etc.

Found some giant pinholes in the canard top, maybe because the fill was a bit dry to work properly, and a low spot, so re-filled and repeated profiling. Main aim is to stop when I expose a high spot on the skin, and contemplate the result.

Have previously noted the West resin has a nice pot life, so was suprised to return from a cuppa with Viki and a visitor to discover a bowl of fill had massively exothermed. Had to chisel it out! Vow to get the fill onto the airplane promptly from now on.

Removed vent diffuser from form, destroying form in the process. Part is strong and light, so rebuild the form and 4 x 4oz over it for the other side.
