Brief Description:  Windshield install #7

-Trimmed off the aft edge of the fairing that goes over the roll bar and also overlaps the canopy and skirts. Took some head scratching to figure out how to mark it for a consistent edge.
-Had some lumps on my layup where the cloth folded across the aft edge of the windshield and abruptly fell onto the canopy. My angle is pretty acute due to my flat-wrap w/s. I sanded them alittle to even them out and then I'll use the micro to fill the low spots through the fairing.
-Peeled the tap and was delighted with a nice edge just like magic. It does need some micro touch up some places that got thin and some of the low spots, but I'm pretty happy.
-Put on fresh tape in preparation for the micro slurry.

Nice edges for the most part - the rest will hopefully be fixed by the micro and sanding
