Brief Description:  Drilling the Canopy 4: Where to drill rail to rib

I'm suppose to have drilled this side rail to the F-631 bow arch rib, but its location is not firm and its location will determine how nice the outside skin fits with the fuselage side skin.

Even if I press it right up against the canopy it seems able to twist slightly, but this is enough to screw up the outside skin.

So, I've decided to drill the canopy to this rail first and drill this angle to the the rear F-631 bow arch rib later when I'm working the outside skin. It will be the final adjustment to get the outside skin just right.
