Default Tip Up Construction Sequence

I am in the throes of canopy fitting & fitting & fitting... Several questions have come up I would like advice on.

1. Do you finish the Tip Up Canopy before finishing the fuselage/ panel/ firewall area?

2. Do you finish drill the canopy to the canopy frame before or after riveting all parts of the frame (to C-702 & WD-716)?

3. Do you bevel the inside of the canopy to fit C-702 tighter? Where does it show the inside of the canopy to C-702 intersection final finish?

I have tried the search function, but no joy. Are there specific key works for canopy fitting?

Default If it helps

Hi William,

Here's the sequence I used and things seemed to have worked out:

The 7 and 9 are the same w/ respect to the fuselage and canopy.

Regards,
