Brief Description:  Canopy installation

Fit the aft canopy bow. Fit the forward canopy bow - this required some reforming of the prebent radius. I started off by getting a little frustrated by bending in on both ends. Then I figured out - start at one end and tweak it larger/smaller radius until the curve flows all the way along. This took quite a while, but when I was done, I figured out the bow was about 1/2" too long. Got both bows sitting in place with the weldments in the sides, then drilled the bows to the weldments. Drilled the cross bar to the aft bow. Painted the cross bar and its attachment gussets. I will paint the rest of the frame after the canopy is glued on in order to run the adhesive on the bare metal.
