Began working on the roll bar portion of the canopy. First up, once the canopy was squeezed in to the proper width(mine was wider than fuselage) I measured for the fore and aft holes that bolt the roll bar on. I measured, checking multiple times per the plans and for whatever reason my foreword hole would cause a major edge distance problem in the foot weldment of the roll bar. I have read of this happening to other builders and the contacted vans. Vans told them the fore/aft positioning of the roll bar is not that critical and that they could move the roll bar a bit to achieve proper edge distance. So this is the approach I am going to have to go with. Oh and I used a big old ratchet strap from HF to bring the roll bar in.
Next up was to fabricate the spacers that go under the rollbar/foreward deck so the washer/nuts have a flat spot to rest. I was able to get the foreword spacers drilled but the aft spacers are almost impossible to hold up to get drilled in such an incredibly tight space. I believe I am going to have to create a relief hole in the deck in order to get in there.
