Firewall reinforcement, more seat foam planning | 9.18.2020

During the verification of the prior build steps, we noted that the firewall triax (Triaxial Fiberglass) reinforcements were not of the correct size. This may have been due to the different engine that was planned for the plane, and probably would have been fine, but I didn't want a probably in the back of my head for the part of the plane that the engine bolts to.

Sanded existing smaller layups and fuselage

Laying in somewhat tack-ed up glass

Curing with peel to help hold them in place. The peel ply gets removed after cure.

Emily assisted with the glassing, and laminated some of the seat foam that we had ordered using 3M spray adhesive.
