Brief Description: Top skin dimpled, slider frame installation.
Foreward top skin was deburred, seamed and dimpled, then stored away. I am going to postpone riveting of the foreward deck as long as possible.
Began work on the slider canopy frame. The roller assemblied were assembled and mounted to the canopy frame. The canopy tracks were cut to length, marked for attach holes and pilot holes drilled, then were clamped to the fuselage. The rear slider block was drilled to the slider frame, parts deburred and then it was boltled to the frame. The slider spacer was marked for rivet and screw hole locations and drilled. This spacer was then drilled to the slider track. Parts were deburred and countersunk as required. Spacer was alodined and then spacer and slider track were riveted together.
The canopy frame was mounted on the fuselage and the slider track positioned with duct tape. I did the initial measurements but will need to spend some time to make sure everything is perfect before the tracks and guide are drilled to the fuselage.
