Today I finished riveting the canopy side skins, including the handles. Then I found the aft canopy seal, marked out and cut the notches.
I primed the canopy seal straps, then laid them on top of the seal, marking out the location of each hole, where a canopy attach screw will pass through the seal. With the holes marked, I used a leather punch and a craft knife to cut out the areas where screws will pass through the seal. Sounds more complicated than it is, and everything went smoothly.
