There are a couple of things that did not quite go as planned though.With the cold weather I anticipated the epoxy would cure a little slower than expected. the plans call for a 2" piece of glass from the bottom lap over onto the rear seat back. The glass cured to much and did not lay flat on the underside of the seat back. After the final cure of the tapes and rear seat back layup I sanded off the extra 2". I will lay up a couple plies of reenforcement glass in it's place. While I am not happy with this step not going as planned I am sure the final result will be o.k.
Also pictured, the transition from the front seat back to the fuselage bottom had a small gap. Somehow I carved away a little to much foam when I contoured the fuselage bottom. To remedy the situation I epoxied some foam into the gap and carved it down to a nice transition. Again I was not happy that this happend, but I believe the final result will work well.
