The morning was cool and windy, but the temps went up well this afternoon so it was back to canopy work. I re-jigged the bench to be able to hold both 'halves'.
Knelling at the PlexiGlass gods.... The belt sander was used to get a straight edge for the forward line on the rear window.
The rear was trimmed slightly and the corners trimmed to allow the window to sit properly against the skin.
I also pilot drilled the 2 1/2" spacing around the edge of the rear skin. I went with #40's to start with and we will probably go straight through skin and plexi in one go with a plexi-drill bit. Dad completed some trimming and shaping the rear baggage bulkhead and the J stiffeners that run along the top of the skin.
