Next, I sanded the inside of the skirt where I had added a couple more layers of glass. I cut a plate from .040 and bent it to fit the curve inside the aft skirt area. I plan to rivet a pull ring to this backing plate. Laid out and punched holes in the plate, then match drilled to the skirt. Clecoed the skirt back to the canopy frame.
Backing plate clecoed to skirt-pull ring just sittin there
