Default RE: Pentathlon Kit Build

Moving right along....

With the top rear deck glued in place, it might be a good idea to rough sand the top cap now rather than later. The next piece to go on next will protrude higher than the top line of the rear deck....meaning you can't run a sanding bar easily off the front end...

There a two rear deck formers that need to be fitted to meet up with the back end of the canopy. At the top of these, there are two small stringers (very short stringers ) that will help set the correct angle for the front former. There is also a base support that will span between the two formers.....this is overkill (I'll talk to the designer) as the tabs in the base of each former only lock into the matching slots on the the fusebox top. With these in place, we can begin work on the canopy.
