Here is the upper  bulk-head assembly before I slid it into the body tube. Again, this is ¾" birch plywood with a piece of plywood in between to mount all of the video electronics to.

 

Here is me with a "bunny suit" on. I was tired of being itchy from sanding fiberglass. I bought this 3M paint suit that worked great for protecting my skin. Sanding, filler, sanding, filler, sanding...


I used the same technique as the altimeter door to cut the upper, camera hatch door. Notice the inlaid wood frame for the camera hatch door.



After the upper bulk-head assembly was screwed into place, I applied West Systems epoxy to the bulk heads.
