I remember reading several post about this monster. Now I'm ready and can't find anything on it, or anyone talking about it. Is there a video to look at that someone has completed? Thanks, Chuck
 
Use the search box above - -

put in say "RV-12 canopy fiberglass" - show threads. Try things like that. You'll find a lot.
 
My first project was a WAR FW190, wood and fiber glass. I had no experience with the process, but I quickly learned how forgiving it is. If you screw up just put on another layer of glass and start sanding again, and a slurry of micro balloons handles the cosmetics! :-)
 
Homebuilthelp explains the process in one of their videos.
I had no fiberglass experience. The layup can be made in half a day, did the left and right layup in one session (sanding take more time ;-) ). Was no monster at all.
