 Hand made foam plug already covered with fiberglass. |
 Side view. |
 Trimmed and surfaced with Dynalite body filler. |
 First attempt at a windscreen. I attempted to use Molt Taylors technique of heavy paper with epoxy. The paper is too stiff to bend without wrinkles. |
 Primed and wet sanded. |
 This time I used a thin aluminum sheet for the wind screen. It required a lot of support from behind, but worked well. |
 I decided to add some extra to the back in order to allow a smooth transition for the plexiglass. |
 Finished plug. Primed, wet sanded, and waxed. The canopy seen installed on the aircraft (fuselage page) was the first attempt). It still needs work. I may make a female mold and try vacuum or blowing it. |
