28/08/2021 - More cutting windscreen - 7h

Two more days of working on the windscreen fitting.

Going little at a time, cutting small slices of the front, each time evaluating the transition to the slider canopy.
As you can see I'm already passed my initial estimated line on the front top fuselage skin. Now at the line of the rivets in the top skin and still a bit of a bump up on the slider.

Some shots of the look so far.

I'm not really focusing on the sides yet, just checking the center as this decides the final slope.

Here's a shot when closed. You still see the kind of V-shape formed by the edge between slider and windscreen. Guess I'll need some more trimming back.
