Dayton's log makes it look easy.
I guess I have to admit that I'm compound curve challenged.
I've got the right side skin fitting pretty well from front to a bit rear of cockpit.
As the side skins come from Van's there supposedly is a lot of excess to be trimmed on the rear part (past cockpit).
Steve Sampson's look quite wide at the rear.
How do you determine where they should intersect with the fuselage skin as you move aft of the cockpit?
How far back should I bend them (canopy/fuselage skin bend)?
Seems that bending them will result in a transition near the rear end where the skins will not lay flat.
Obviously I'm worried about trimming off too much.
