Canopy trimming

Work has been keeping me busy in the evenings the last few weeks, but last night I was able to spend some time in the garage. I trimmed the canopy sides to get it to sit flush with the canopy rails, and to sit down correctly on the forward canopy frame skin. I used a combination of a diamond blade on the jug saw, a sanding block, and a burred edge on a small steel ruler to cut, sand and scrape the edges. It wasn’t my favorite thing to do, as the canopy is bulky, flimsy and awkward, but it came out ok. Most of these edges will be hidden by skins and fairing, so the straightness of these edges wasn’t critical.
