Clearly lot's of builders have completed this daunting and tricky task without incident! Let me say I've just about got the frame to fit the fuselage and the canopy is still safely tucked away in the finish kit box untouched
My thoughts on the sequence of drilling and riveting the canopy are this.
1.Drill the canopy to the frame.
2.Fit the sideskins
3. Using a hole finder drill the sideskins to the previously drilled canopy/frame.
4. Apply a thin coat of sealant [proseal] to the frame/canopy and the canopy/sideskin and rivet.
Sounds easy when I say it fast
What other methods have those who have been successful used?
Anything else I should consider before I start?
