Brief Description:  Canopy Frame #1

Started installing the canopy rails (L/R).
-Layed out the length of each rail with a sharpie (the plans call for an angle to be cut in the aft end to mirror the F807 bulkhead, not mine came with the angle already there so don't cut that end off!)
-Cut the rails to length with the bandsaw.
-Marked the rails where they needed to be relieved for the F814 windshield bow weldment and cut with dremel with a cutoff wheel (worked great).
-Deburred on the 3M wheel
-Taped the rails in place per the plans on the cockpit side rails.
