Default Canopy Handles...

I've probably been staring at this for too long, but I can't locate the AA6-063x3/4x3/4 angle called out on Page 38-13 Figure 1 for the Canopy Handles.

For that matter, I can't find a line item for that angle on the inventory sheets.

What am I missing? Where is the little bugger?

That is a common angle used all over the kit. Check the instructions/plans and see if it says to make it out of 063x3/4x3/4x something long. This tells you it needs to be cut from a long piece of stock. Not sure if it is the same for the 14 but was often the case for my 7.

Right, that was the case for my old -8, too. The -14, though, has nearly zero parts fabricated from raw stock and correspondingly less stock sitting around. I couldn't find any at all when I searched a little while ago.

OK, I found it hiding in plain sight. Amazing how parts can toggle their visibility like that...

The more obvious the location, the harder to find....

That's the truth!

Canopy handles now fabricated and drilled to the canopy rails. Onward!
