Brief Description: Forward skin & Canopy fitting
|
|
More details on installation of the forward fuselage skin, including the addition of skin mini-ribs (F-644 R&L) that strengthen the canopy hinge arms, and the centerline rib (F-643). Also lots of hand trimming of the skin edges, and joint between the canopy and forward skin.
Notched the canopy forward skin for the plexi to slip into the side channels, and removed the plexi about 2 dozen times to make additional trim cuts to align deeply enough into the channels. Trim aft edge of canopy plexi to properly match the forward edge of the rear window at the rollbar.
Everything is re-iterative, being repeated endlessly, fit, trim, insert, clecoe, mark, measure, remove, and repeat.
Ordered a few minor items from Avery Tools.
