I'm going to do the cockpit and canopy first, then work on the rest of the fuse. Primer will wait until everything else catches up.

I sanded the second coat of resin tonight. Shes nice and smooth now. Photos don't show much.

That looks awesome!
I love when wood is formed and not just straight.

This!
Reminds me of a hand carved surfboard. Great job Doug.

Thanks guys, I appreciate the comments.

Yesterday I took the hatch to work with me to spray a little black in the cockpit before I installed the pilot and instrument panel. I was going to mark where the canopy went before hand so I could mask it, but of course I forgot. So I just sprayed the whole area, then when I got home I marked for the canopy and sanded the black off just past the line so I have a spot for the glue.

Tonight I'll install the canopy.

Tonight I got the canopy glued on. Next I'm going to fill the joint where the canopy meets the hatch so it's a nice smooth radius.

Wow.... really nice. I especially like that instrument panel. Way to go.

I didn't get anything done last night other than unmasking the canopy.
