Brief Description:  Windscreen Fairing 1 - Prep and Layups

See Windshield Bonding as well

Following the plans for the windscreen fairing as no one seems to have any better ideas that I have found. As I have quite a good fit of the forward edge of the skirt I am going to do a butt joint of the moulding to the skirt - which is as per the drawing.

Only problem was that for some reason there is a gap between the windscreen and the canopy (must have moved slightly when I sika'd it) - nothing that a bit of filler won't hide but that is added weight.

Jill helped tremendously by cutting all the tape (1" and 2"), plastic freezer bags plus the peel ply whilst I sanded the areas for the lay ups.

Completed windscreen/skin lay ups but only applied two for the canopy strip as this needs filling to level the windscreen and the canopy for a smooth transition.
