: I am curious as to why you try so hard to completely cover the cockpit area?
: Are you going to be doing something with the part you cut out?

: From the picture below it looks like you wouldn't have to clamp the strip at
: all if you just didn't try to bend it down in an area you are going to cut
: out later. Are you trying to accomplish something else?

I don't know about Bobby, but I too tried to keep things neat and tidy over the cockpit area. Just habit I guess. Also I didn't know exactly where the cockpit cutout would be. Still I was able to get most of my scarfs within the cutout area, thus eliminating them from the final deck. Completely covering the cockpit gives a really pleasing flow from fore to aft. I wouldn't have believed it until I actually built the Spirit. It just seems natural to do for this type of design where the cockpit is canted similar to a SOF. I don't think it would work on other design types with recessed cockpits, however. As for the cutout, it made a great test bed for paints and varnishes :)
