Brief Description:  Rivet Canopy and Skirt Completions

Completed riveting the right side skirt, and the rear skirt where the doubler plate joins together the two skirt halves.

I have some fibreglass layup work to do to smooth out the rough fibreglass provided by Vans, and to cover the CS4-4 rivets. I'll leave the ACQQ4-4 rivets visable just in case, down the road, the plexi bubble has to be replaced, it will make a lot easier to drill out the rivets if I can see them.

Started cutting down the canopy latch handle per spec... grinding away the squared off ends.
