Brief Description:  Canopy Skirt #5, Drilling the left skirt to frame

The instructions say to start drilling at the aft end of the skirt and work your way forward, but since I am not drilling the upper canopy frame that contacts the canopy, there is no sense in drilling from the aft - forward.

I got the left side drilled and that's a good thing. It takes a long time because for every hole that was drilled with the hole locator - you must cleco the surrounding area after putting the locator in place, then drill the hole, then take all the clecos out to get the hole locator out and on to the next hole to be drilled. The rib template worked like a charm. It works better than the hole locator as the sits flush on the outside where the hole locator sits partially on the inside and interferes with the skirt somewhat. But, it worked out fine.
