Brief Description: Checked Cracked Paint in Aft Corners of Frame
I used the die grinder and Scotchbrite to scrape off the paint on the aft corners of the canopy frame. The paint had cracked when I had placed those corners on the floor and then pushed down on the opposite front corners. I cleaned off the paint and the powdercoating down to the bare metal. There was no cracking in the metal bows or welds. The C-677 rear pin mounts were located in the proper position on the longerons and drilled in place with a #12 bit.
Right bow that only had powdercoating cracking
The left aft canopy bow that also had only powdercoating cracking
