As mentioned in earlier post, the cockpit needed to be more aerodynamic, so I made the front window tilt up about 45 degrees from the side walls. For simplicity in design, I tried to keep every angle at about 45 degrees, so that my compound miter saw could handle the cut without having to build a jig to work around some difficult angle. Building the cockpit A-frame required multiple attempts to get the compound angles just right for the pieces to fit flat and flush with each other. There is one joint that has six pieces of wood coming together.
