I haven't fully enclosed it yet but probably will build that option for the florida
to Broadhead trip. after I step in the little top canopy fits in place via
a couple of dowels in the aft portion and a couple of spring loaded  sliding
pins in the front. a left and right pieces (not uet constructed) can be hinged
from the bottom and latched to the top piece.  one of the pics shows two steps
that are needed to get in the cockpit. with the flop forward I can actually
stand straight up while stepping in. should be able to get in their well into
my 90's.

From: "Bill Church" <billspiet@sympatico.ca>


Hi Vincent,
My comment was mainly in reference to the type of adhesive used for the lamination.
Different adhesives require specific conditions for proper bonding.  Some
can tolerate slight gaps, and some cannot. Some require the joint to be kept
under pressure when curing, etc.
For the fuselage longerons, there is no need to steam or laminate to achieve the
curves.  They will easily bend to the required shape.
Building an entire fuselage as a mock up really isn't necessary.  The main purpose
would be to determine how well you fit in the stock fuselage, and determine
whether you would need to make any modifications.
Bill C.
