I was just gearing up to shape the nose when it was suggested to me that I shape the canopy, canard cover and nose all at the same time. This sounded like a good idea and after looking at photos of the advisers aircraft I have decided to go ahead and order a canopy from Todd's Canopies.
In the meantime, while I wait for the canopy to arrive I decided to work a little on the pilots left side console.
Here is the two peices of .35" divinicell foam covered with 1 ply bid...
And here are the they are after trimming and assembled with a flox radius and 2" bid tape...
And finally 2 ply's bid fiberglass over the outside...
This was trimmed and here is the panel test fit into the cockpit. I will do no further work on this untill I have the throttle quadrant and eleveator trim mechinisms installed.
