66 J-3 Cub
Windshield Pattern Custom Fit
This evening I cut out the velum windshield
pattern that I traced off of the plan this afternoon. I spent a considerable
amount of time taping and trimming, taping and trimming, until I finally got
the windshield pattern's custom fit to the front of the cockpit structure
that I was looking for. The three pictures below show the final fit of the
velum windshield pattern.

The picture below shows the right side view of
the windshield pattern taped onto the fuselage. As you see, I got a surprise
to discover that the windshield pattern actually went on around the front
angle brace and back to the first cabin vertical brace, so I will have to go
back and trim off the front of the side window pattern. This will make
gluing the windshield on a much easier task than I first thought.
