Forward fairing
Catégorie: Finishing : Canopy

Today,I begun fabricating the forward canopy fairing. First operation is to cut some fiberglass strips. The strips' width is increasing slowly between each layer and there will be 6 or 7 layers.



The picture is taken after the second layer has been laid. The fiberglass is laid dry and the wetted with the black epoxy.



Once all the layer are laid, the peel ply is applied. It will take out the excess epoxy and help sanding.
The fiberglass is not really symetrical on both sides. I think some sanding or filling should take care of that.
