Default RE: Blue Angel - Build

I did some more trimming and fitting of the canopy. From its current rough cut state I taped it down in position with a short piece of masking tape on both sides. I then used masking tape along the lower edge of the canopy to mark the edge where I needed to trim. I put the masking tape on the canopy so that the top edge would be the trim line and of course I could see through the canopy to see the wood to know the trim location. The masking tape overlapped on to the fuselage. When I was done I cut the masking tape loose along the bottom edge of the canopy so I could remove it from the fuselage. Then I cut along the top edge of the remaining masking tape to trim the canopy.
