Attached are a few pictures that I think illustrate the technique. Note
that my idea was to have a sharp trailing edge and a rounded leading edge.
When I laid up the glass I let it extend beyond the trailing edge and
trimmed the contour later. The leading edge would have been better done
with a single BID tape down the leading edge instead of trying to force one
piece to go all the way along the side plus around the leading edge.
Sorry about the poor resolution of the pictures, but all my money is in
airplanes!
