Catégorie: Finishing : Canopy

Today's temperature was forecasted to be too cool to work on plexiglas, so I begun by doing all the small things left on the frame.
First I unistalled the frame and the canopy, and then drilled the screw holes on the sideskirts. This is done from inside.
Then all the holes have to be deburred, dimpled and countersunk.



Then I soved my small problem with the rivets on the sideskirt and forward skin. Here the right side, there will be two small rivets between the bigger ones.



On the left hand side it's a bit easier, I just filed the corner of the angle to allow the rivet to sit correctly.



The canopy is back on the frame after all this operations.



The temperature having reached 25°C, I did what might be the last cut on the back of the canopy.



The frame is back on the fuselage. It seems the canopy is still a bit long (1/32 to 1/16 behind the cut line). But I'll first install the rear window before cutting more.



I then cut the rear window, I still have to drill it and do the cut line at the front.
