Today I begin by riveting the front of the skin to the frame, but first I make all the shims. The riveting is quite difficult as the frame is still very sloppy and the rivets are sometimes difficult to reach.

Then I finish the installtion of the upper canopy lock. The washer needs to be grinded to fit and the split pin installed on the correct side to allow opening the correctr way.




Then I tackle the side guides (not included in the plans). On the right everything goes smoothly, but I will have to redo a left guide as it slipped during drilling.




And here how it works. The lug is guided into the fusleage hole by the side of the guide. With both guides installed the canopy closes very smoothly.
