I came in for only 2.5 hours today (some of that time spent on logging my work for the week)continued where I left off on the canopy frame by fitting all the parts back in place where and how I had them yesterday, then again confirming and checking my markings, some small adjustments made and it was all clamped in place then the frame uprights were spaced and clamped properly in place so that any final adjustment would be on the fwd frame or the side rails given that the spacing for the uprights to rollbar is specified and crucial. Trimmed a little off the side rails and got a great fit, tomorrow I can begin riveting the clamped parts together to make up the frame!

Also decided to take the wing I have been struggling with in terms of reaching the rivets, and lay it, underside up, trailing edge back, on the open worktable, thinking that I can reach easier by laying down on the wing and working from left to right, leading edge up to trailing edge, it seems to be a lot better but I will find out tomorrow after I have at least match-drilled the canopy frame assembly in place - as that has me quite excited.
