Preparing to lay down the fiberglass around my windscreen. I've had training from Synergy Air and EAA Sportair workshops and built several practice projects, so I feel mentally prepared to do the work. But all my practice pieces have been small, and I plan to make continuous strips of pre-preg glass over four feet long for my installation. I'd like to ask the RV-8 community: how many builders have done this solo, and how many have had help with laying down the strips? I know I could probably use shorter strips overlapped, but I would prefer continuous strips. Access is difficult with the airplane sitting on the gear; it's a tall reach that will require using my work platforms on either side. Feel free to share your stories. I just want to plan this process as carefully as possible in advance so that it goes smoothly... literally and figuratively.
