Brief Description:  Windscreen Bezel Junction Reinforcment - Part 1

Where the left and right sides of the metal windscreen bezel formed a butt-joint, the skin was a little fragile so I decided to add a .032" stiffener on the underside just to make sure things were secure. This is an intuitive "hand-hold" area for pilot ingress and egress, so some additional support seemed paramount. Looks good and doesn't interfere with the rear canopy closure.
