I started today by riveting in the forward upper fuselage center rib, the canopy hinge release mechanism hat section and the engine control cable support bracket. Then I match drilled the canopy hinge blocks to the F-745 and F-744 ribs. I finished up by cutting to length, drilling hinge pin holes and cutting slots in the control rods of the canopy hinge release mechanism.
