    Section 43: More Canopy Trimming (4 hours)

    On this New Year's Eve 2007, I did some more cabin top trimming. yeah!

    1. Trimmed the far aft edge, against the tailcone top skin. I took a bit off here and the fit looks very good. I was afraid the cabin top was not flush with the tailcone top skin, but after clecoing everything in, everything was pulled flush.
    2. Trimmed the windshield area. I had no scribe lines to go by and had to do this more or less by feel. I think I did a pretty good job. The only thing I could have done better was to accommodate the curvature of the forward skin in this area. I trimmed more or less in a plane for the tangent of the curve, so there is a gap to the skin away from the tangent point. It is a minor point. The results look better than I could have expected, i think.
