Brief Description:  Reassembled canopy latch system

After painting everything, it was time to reinstall. In order to pull the canopy frames firmly to the longeron doubler surface, I added extra washers (above the 3 that are called for) between the extruded latch hinge and the bottom of the longerons. That brought them right where I wanted them. I also ended up remaking the arm on the passenger side to shorten the distance between the O/B tube arm and the latch (to pull the latch down tighter).
