Brief Description:  Rear Canopy Skin Install

Began installing the rear canopy skin. These two parts (left & right) form a smooth transition between the rear top skin and the fuselage side skins, hold the rear canopy in place, and form a waterproof seal (with rubber seals/caulk) along the sides and rear of the canopy.

Today's task was to fit the two sides into position, backdrill the lower part through the upper longeron (from the baggage area), and create a rivet line along the aft edge parallel to the rivet line where the rear top skin attaches to the baggage bulkhead. The right side pilot drilling is complete and the left side is about 50% complete. I also updrilled the right side to final rivet size.
