Brief Description:  final sizing the canopy

Watched the finish kit video I received - very informative about the canopy.

It helped me gain a lot of confidence.

I test fitted the canopy on the frame and used a piece of 1/4" plywood as a spacer to cut mark the canopy for cutdown. Marked the lines with masking tape and made about a dozen cuts without incident.

The Ultra Saw remains the way to go.

Used a DeWalt random orbit sander on the edges 100, 150, 220 grit. Very easy and fast.

Real happy with the results. Tomorrow, I start the cleco process on the canopy.

So far - so good.
