Not having a canopy latch in-hand, I don't know how much forgiveness there is in the canopy latch slot in the F-705G angle. I found I didn't have any files small enough to work on the slot, and long story short, it's not some of my best work. I have an egg vs a slot. How exact of a match do these need to be to the pre-punched latch slots in the bulkhead? I'm just trying to figure out if I need to take a mulligan on this particular hole and try again. Is it the length that's the important dimension?
What's the best way to tackle a slot like this in thick material? I assume drill a hole on either end, but what's the best way to not make a mess of taking out the material in between? Just a jeweler's file and a whole lot of patience? The jeweler's files I've tried in the past have not been all that great at handling this thick material.
