Brief Description: Match Drill Top Skin to Frame; Mark Goosenecks
I match drilled the top skin to the canopy frame. The #40 holes for the C614 splice plate and frame channels were then enlarged to #30. I also drilled the tabs on the hinges to the canopy channels. Once all of the drilling was done I double checked the gaps between the top skin of the canopy frame and the top skin of the forward fuselage. Once I was satisfied with the fit and that the duct-taping was holding everything where I wanted, I reached up through the recess hole in the firewall and marked the gooseneck hinges for drilling using the holes in the UHMV blocks and sub panel ribs.
