Canopy Complete
I hereby declare the canopy COMPLETE! I’ll admit it, I’m sick of working on the canopy. I did a few more minor fill, sand, prime, sand iterations. There comes a point when you just have to stop messing with the forward fairing. I’m pretty happy with it. The critical edge came out pretty good.
Next up was to flip it over and work on the glareshield light strip. Thanks to Watson for donating one of his (many) dog beds to set the canopy on upside down on the bench. I’m using an electroluminescent strip glued to the underside of the glareshield for primary panel light. I scuffed the painted glareshield and the back of the light strip with some 100 grit sandpaper. I long ago made peace with proseal so it is my glue of choice. I ran the wires along the left side of the canopy frame, under the brace, in some expanding sleeve (cool stuff). I have the wires exiting near the left pivot. We’ll see how this exit point works out later.
