I received some carbon paper and marked on the canopy bar where the canopy touched the bar. The canopy was then removed and holes drilled in the bar as per plans.
I then cleaned and placed some fuel sealant on the area of the small leak of the fuel tank. I was small enough and at an upper corner that won't get much pressure so I figured at this point placing sealant on the outside should suffice. If not I will have to go in from the inside, which would be more of a project. While I had sealant out I decided to go around some of the seams and add a little more sealant. Probably not necessary, but since I had sealant mixed up I figured it wouldn't hurt. I will wait another week before I test the fuel tank again.
I then fabricated the canopy blocks and handles.
Time: 1.75 hrs.
