Brief Description:  Trimmed More Material off the Front

I made another cut of the front of the canopy and then sanded the edges with the scraper and the 220 and 400 sandpaper. The canopy was then put back on the fuselage. The canopy still sets about 1'' too high on the frame. I drew another line on the front of the canopy about 1/4'' from the last cut, in order to lower the canopy more. I made another cut of the front of the canopy and then sanded the edges with the scraper and the 220 and 400 sandpaper. I found that it was possible to create a crack in the edge with the scraper by going too fast and having the scraper at a wrong angle. I spent some time getting rid of a crack or two.
