Ready to drill canopy

Posted on by Neal

Life has gotten busy recently! Tonight I finally finished trimming the canopy, and got everything ready to start drilling the holes.

I used a ratchet strap to hold weight on the front of the canopy, and rigged up some blocks of wood on the inside to backstop the holes being drilled through the side rails.

I plan to start drilling tomorrow, as it’s late and I need to get some sleep tonight.

The braces are for hold a little pressure against the sides when holes are drilled through from the outside. They also aid in keeping the rails straight and level with the sides of the fuselage.
