Brief Description:  Canopy Bubble Fitting 3

Started out the morning by making one last final cut to the front of the canopy to get the sides to rest on the longeron like I want them. This time everything fell into place.

I then locked the canopy into place using Gorilla tape (man that stuff is strong!) and marked lines along the bottom sides to trim off the excess material. Two long cuts later (one each side) and the bubble fitting is now 99% complete. I still need to sand the bottom a little bit more to get the canopy to settle fully onto the hoops. Right now it's about 1-2mm off the hoops at the top.

With the wrap off.  My project has evolved from a kayak to a go-cart to now: an airplane (sans wings).
