I'm trimming the door openings in the cabin top to fit between the fore and aft bulkheads on the fuselage and it's getting thin. Looks like I'll have about 1/8" of glass left on the vertical portions of the top where it will connect to the bulkheads. This subject was discussed a while back but I can't find where anyone posted a final thickness for the top in this area. Does 1/8" sound like what the rest have been seeing? Thanks..........John

John, that's about right, it seems a little thin compared to the rest of
the structure and after sanding off so much but it takes that much in
order to get it to fit between the bulkheads. There was another builder
over yesterday who was at the same place you are and he also commented
about it. Here's a couple of links to what I did.

page forward and back through this album to see several different pictures

here's the page from my construction log on the same topic:

paper thin if you are lucky......breaking through in spots more likely.
