Brief Description:  Right Wing top skin

Andrew Winkworth was the guy who first let me lay hands on a Cozy, he let me work under his direction trimming one side of a MLG bulkhead, and prepping/glassing the other side back in 2004. He moved away, came most of the way back and was visiting family in the area before I give him a lift to the Australian Canard Muster in Wangarratta this weekend. He was delighted at the prospect of a bit of fibreglassing so helped me with the top skin layup on the Right Wing.

Andrew is a fast worker and I spent most of my time mixing resin, laying out the cloth with Andrew and trimming the edges. He did most of the wetting out. He had a particularly diligent hand with the credit-card squeegee and we achieved a fine layup with optimum resin content. I will implement this for the next top skin.

Originally posted that the pictures of this session are missing. Found those that exist. Appears I forgot to start the camera after lunch, so you can't see Andrew's excellent squeegee action!

2 x UND crossing at the plans schedule, and 1 x UND along the wing, forward of the Aileron cut. two bits of 1 x UND reinforcement at the notch, and 3 x UND reinforcement over the inboard hardpoint.

Thanks Andrew!
