Brief Description:  Windscreen Fairing Trimming, Canopy Skirt Plan

After sanding the windscreen - canopy intersection fairing to remove high spots, it is apparent there needs to be more material 'under' the existing fairing in contact with the canopy. The problem occurred when I used Mylar package wrap as the protector against the plexiglass.

I trimmed back the fairing about 1/4", a bit more, to reveal the portion of the fiberglass that is strong enough, and good enough to act as a support for adding new cloth. The plan is to add more cloth at the midpoint going back to the canopy, likely 3 layers will do, and finish with epoxy layers before sanding.
