4/4/19 Received A3 rivets from Zenith 3.5 Hours After watching a viedo last night and looking at a few build logs, fooled with the windshield. Looks like it will take some work Installed 8 nut plates on instrument bulkhead. Put the bulkhead and panel together and back drilled the 4 holes (2 each) for the trim rocker switch and trim indicator. Reinstalled bulkhead/panel into aircraft. Clecoed the forward top skin into place. Then tried (sucessfully) to installed throttle to see if it could be done. Repaired wiring on flap switch and installed.
4/5/19 1.0 Hour Little work, mostly strighten work table and put stuff away. Using a Dremel cut-off wheel, trimmed upper right corner of windshield for it to fit better around cage. The lower aft edges need to be back about 1/2 -3/4". Marked a line on center of lower front shield for trimming, From other blogs, trim very little at a time.
4/6/19 2.8 Hours Windshield on and off several times. Trim a little, try it out, trim some more. Not quite there yet. Cut off about 1/4" in center section (5 rivet holes either side of center) The Dremel tool with cut-off wheel works well.
