Brief Description:  Trimming and priming for Canopy Attach bolt

Spent a significant amount of time reviewing the cad drawings for drilling the Canopy bolts on the fuselage. Made up a pair of canopy attach angles then decided to remake the right set as for some reason the angle and width was a bit too narow. Luckily there was enough spare stock to make a second set.

Reviewed the details for trimming back F-721B as well as cutting the hole in the F-757 plate for the canopy latch mechanism. Reviewed a few builder sites to confirm that I was interpreting the plans correctly. Trimmed and drilled out. I decided to prime the parts and also removed the angle support to prime this a well. (See Picture #3)

Did some head scratching because the plans indicate NOT to rivet thesupport angle until the side skins are riveted. Cleco only. I did a close look and the reason for this is that once the angle is riveted to the top challel (back seat brace) you do not have clearance to buck the rivets.
