Creating Custom Fiberglass Canopy Skirt - RV-7A | EP4.28

Back to the build! We're creating and installing the rear skirt this time around. A full fiberglass canopy skirt molded on the airplane, and later installed with Sika Flex. This bad chicken took some doin' and likely isn't done...

Multiple layers of fiberglass were layed up on the airplane and installed into place. I battled some remnants of old work, copious amounts of epoxy, and sanding for days.

In the end, I'm pretty happy with the results. What do you think?

I'm Ryan, an aviation enthusiast who has decided to build his own aircraft and publish the entire process online for others to watch along. If you have ever want to build an airplane, this is a great glimpse at what it takes.

The airplane is a two-person experimental kit built aluminum plane capable of over 200 miles per hour, and a range of over 700 miles. The kit is manufactured by Van's Aircraft one of the most prolific kit aircraft providers in the world. The airplane is aerobatic, functional, and fun. The build is challenging, time consuming, fun and rewarding.
