Brief Description: Canopy left side skirt drilling-1
1. After many fiting sequencesresulting in only bad fits I picked what looked to be the best of the bad and taped in place. 2. The left side skirt has the handle tube that protrudes the skirt and so I drilled a pilot hole from inside the canopy thru the tube and thru the skirt and then a unibit from outside slowly stepping up until it fit thru the skirt. I then used the dremel with a drum sander to get a nice fit with a little extra room. 3. I previously tranfered intersecting lines from each hole drilled into the canopy up onto some tape around the canopy . I now extend those lines down to the skirt to find where to drill. This seems to be working so far as I have done 5 so far. Started aft and worked forward. Drilled with a small bit and if I didnt hit any plexi, I finished the hole with a unibit to 1/8 and then clecoed in place.
This is enough for tonght. I can tell that a nice snug fit will be impossible just from rivitting in place. Plenty of fiberglass and epoxy will most likely be required. Yay??
Notch trimmed again
Hole drilled for handle tube protrusion
5 holes and clecoes in the left aft skirt. Many to go!
