With the cool morning - I finished the P1 harness bracket. Simple alignment / drilling for AN4 bolt. |
|
Then moving onto the spinner plate, Dad knocked up a wood base plate for mounting on the pillar drill. |
|
I sorted a layout and transferred to the spinner. |
|
With the spinner plate mounted and the locations defined the base can then be rotated - this results in a nice circular pattern! |
|
This is the rear of the prop - sounds obvious now, but we went looking for the prop bolts - they are captive and already on the prop! |
|
With the temps getting back toward 28C we returned to the front canopy. First up was marking of the side rail locations. |
|
Then lots of trimming and sanding, fitting, re-testing then more of the above..... Also removed the forward skin which helps the front drop a little more. More trimming at the front (and probably sides) will be needed but the rear parts needs fixing first. |
|
This was our first take at pulling the rear ribs up to the canopy plexi - not bad - with a 5/16" ish gap between the two rear ribs - a little more than we want but not the end of the world. |
