Brief Description:  Canopy Locking Mechanism Complete

Reassembled the now-painted canopy locking mechanism and tested it for appropriate range and ease of movement by:

- Bolting the two end tubes onto the torque tube.
- Re-attaching the two bearings to the inside skin under the upper seat back.
- Inserting the inside locking handle through the seat back and seating the torque tube ends into the bearings.
- Inserting the external latch through the left side skin, bearing, and end of the torque tube.
- Attaching the handle to the fuselage with two bolts.
- Attaching the two arms to the two latching mechanisms with cotter pinned bolts.
- Adding the ball to the end of the inside locking lever.

The canopy locks are complete, minus a few bearing rivets...
