Continued on the canopy by removing canopy from frame. The holes were then enlarge to #27 and the front holes countersunk. Guide blocks were then place and the guide plates attached. Canopy handles were then match drilled to the canopy skirt. The canopy frame is now ready to be painted before I can attach the canopy.
I went back and installed the spar pin switch. I had to purchase the proper size wrench as I didn't have one that would fit the nuts. Per instructions washer can be added to get the proper spacing for the switch and pin. I ended up adding 5 washers on each side.
I then went back through the plans to see what else could be done that I haven't done yet. I decided to start on the tailcone fiberglass. I spend some time cutting and sanding the fiberglass to the scribe line. It was a dusty mess, but I was able to sit out in the nice cool evening air to do it.
Time: 3.25 hrs
