Title: Window drilled
Finally! After about 8 months of waiting and the stars to align, the temperature hit 85 in the Twin Cities today, which is a lot better than hitting 85 in July. So our dear friend Heather -- the daughter we never had -- agreed to help with the wood-block holding as I alternately drilled #30 and #40 holes. After cutting her loose, I went back over the rollbar, reaming the #40 holes out to #26, then tapping them 6-32 and inserting a screw lightly to hold it in place. I'm not sure when I'll be back at the hangar so I didn't put the electrical tape in place to mark the trim but there's also very little trimming to be done. After that, I'll ream out the turtle skin-window holes to #27 and clean up the edges and then trim for the filler neck. I'm very happy with how it's going and very happy to finally get it done.
