Brief Description:  Finish canopy frame

Today I needed to drill and rivet the corner brackets to the horizontal frame members. With the canopy frame fully in place:

1. I marked the locations of the pilot holes in the horizontal square-section frame members.

2. I took those members off the aircraft and to the workbench, to pilot drill them.

3. Then I re-assembled the whole frame again, and set everything per the dimensions and offsets in the plans.

4. And then I drilled through the pilot holes, into the round steel corner brackets, adding clecos as I went.

5. Then it was back to the bench with the whole assembly, where I took it apart once more, deburred everything, and put it back together (photo 1).

6. Photo 2 is the frame fully assembled, laid loose on the cockpit.
