Brief Description:  Canopy - struts & frame

Final drilled, deburred, and countersunk Lt-side splice plate & wedge. Adjusted final fit & drilled.

Disassembled and tapered frame overlap. Joggled the side frame to overlap more smoothly with the weldment at the front of the frame.

Frame test fitting with struts attached, but found that the force of the struts distort the unfinished and flimsy frame too much to measure accurately.

Discovered my shortage of AN426-AD4-x rivets for the frame, and need two extra screws for the aft bracket attach (Decided to modify the two-screw attach and use three screws in a triangular layout.)
