Apr 11, 2024 4 Resumed work on canopy Category: Canopy
The temperature is warming up enough where I think I can start working on the canopy again. I was able to get the hangar up close to 80 with the kerosene heaters and I started polishing that scratch on one side that's been bugging me. I used NOVUS 3 (no idea where 1 and 2 went) and got it better.

I wasn't happy last fall with the screwing on of the rear canopy to the frame so I took those screws out and drilled out the holes in the frame to a #27. I added a few new scratches taking the canopy off so I'll have to polish those out now. But the screws (except for the ones right on the curves) sit in there a little better now.

I also fit and match drilled the two canopy lift attaches and somehow all of that took four hours.
The next step will be to rivet on the skirts and front of the canopy and start on the foam blocks and then the fiberglass skirts in the front.
Once I get that done I can get inside to finish up control attachments etc.
