Brief Description:  Drilling the canopy rails

I worked thru the issues with the canopy rails and in the end, I decided that the aft two holes, being that they are match drilled from the bottom, as the holes are there already, that the canopy rail needs to be in the right spot of else those aft two holes will be in the wrong place on the canopy rails.

Those aft holes are a bit difficult to get to and I could have either un-latched the rotisserie from the straps I used to keep it still as I have been climbing in and out of the fuselage - or I could use a mirror and light. I went with the mirror and light, and used the 90 degree angle drill.

I drilled to #40 as instructed, and will next need to drill the holes out to #19 to fit the #8 screw.
