Manual Reference:  Canopy Hinge
Brief Description:  Drilled Canopy Hinges

Moving along on canopy frame, I double checked the measurements and then drilled the hinges to the fuselage. That is a multi step process where 6 pieces are involved for each side. Its a tight fit and everything needs to be perpendicular and/or parallel to its neighbors for a proper fit. Thank goodness I had a .249 threaded drill point/reamer for the last task of drilling the hinge bolt hole throught the thick UHMW and the short rib next to it. Its all good.
