Peter,

What you propose will certainly work, but is probably over-k= ill unless you need to mount hardware (a compass?) to the dust cover. Consi= der laying 3-4 bid over your paper form and calling it done. Alternatively,= you can start with 2-bid over the form, then trim/shape the resulting cove= r with a heat gun and cuts to get it exactly like you want it, then a coupl= e of bids over the top to strengthen just a bit. You’ll likely cover = this with some material to resist the sun, so the finish is not critical. I= ’d also recommend that you add some kind of “roll” to the= edge facing aft to protect your face in a crash. This is another reason fo= r not “over-building” it…you’d like to have it yiel= d rather than your face...
