My friend Jim helped me with the following projects this evening (Thanks, Jim!):

1. Removed the canopy skirt.
2. Removed the canopy and frame from the airplane.
3. Added some clecoes around the temporary rivets in the canopy.
4. Drilled out the 10 temporary rivets that were holding on the canopy. (The first one went pretty rough, but the others were super easy.) Removed what remnants of the rivets we could from the frame. A bit of the stems are still inside. I hope they don't rattle around in there.
5. Removed the canopy bubble from the frame.
6. Began to plan the hardware and processes needed to attach everything. Realized that I had already drilled out the upper frame holes (the bubble-to-frame holes) to 1/8" long ago, so I will have to upsize the screws from #6 to #8. I think I'll still be able to use the 1/4" OD soft tubing as a gasket inside the 1/4" canopy holes--there just won't be quite the same "free-float" of the fasteners in the holes. I need to research whether I could upsize the canopy holes just a tad. (The difficulty would be finding a suitable size Plexi drill bit or Unibit.)
