________________________________

So my tip up canopy came out about 1/8th inch wider on both sides than
the fuse.....Think the canopy sides are not quite the right shape plus I
must be getting sloppy in my old age.

Anyway, as I have already glassed the plexi to the frame I am not about
to redo the canopy frame but the "overhang" does look a bit below par. I
was wondering if anyone had seen a fuse that had the width built up
using some glass and microballoons?

As the plane will be painted it seems like one could fair up the sides
quite easily.

Any thoughts?
