Brief Description:  Hardpoints installed

After measuring 5 times I decided to mark the attach points for the canopy, cut out the opening, clear out the foam and install the hardpoints I made similar to the latch pin hardpoints. I buried the hardpoints in ezpoxy flox and taped them into position for overnight cure. Tomorrow is going to be a huge day. What I mean is that, with the gas springs located where they are, they give the canopy a 40 degree opening as planned and BARELY enough stroke length to close completely. like 1/16" left in the stroke. Now in all this installation mess, there is a possibility that the 1/16" won't be there after cure. I worked really hard to get to this point and if the canopy closes as planned tomorrow it will be a huge milestone. The next being the right amount of pressure in the springs for a self lifting canopy only after a certain point that it is lifted manually. That may take some time figuring out....crossing my fingers for tomorrow.
