Hey Keith, When you start or complete the cockpit area, can you please post pictures so I can see what you have done. I am in the same position you are in but finding it tough to figure out how I am going to do this. I have already cut the cockpit into sections to get the right length but just trying to figure out how I am going to permanently install the front black cover into the fuse. the two cockpit seats will be installed into the canopy.
