Just another tip for those building tip-ups. For obvious reasons this has to be done before installing the canopy.
Sometimes you just have to work on your "Honey Do" list when building an airplane. My list included adding a cloths hanger for my wife. Let's face it, we hope to use the -9 to take some trips and it would be nice if our clothes made it without looking like they were left in the dryer for a week. When finished I simply riveted it to the support above the baggage compartment. Remember, this plane will have the tip-up canopy, sliders do not have this support. The aluminum angle was some scrap I had laying around and the carabineer was found at the local hardware store for $1.00. Total weight gain was a few ounces.
