Continuing with the canopy we trimmed some more of the front corners.
The ear relief is still a problem and we decided to enlarge the opening a little.
Before fixing on a shape we completed the canopy skin drilling. There weren't many locations but some of the outboard rivets hadn't been match drilled.
Then we opened a 1/2" whole forward of the existing gap.
Returning to the cowls briefly we remounted the newly re-joined upper / lower cowls to the fuselage. The spinner alignment looks really good.
The extra lower cowl trimming is still a problem, first up I think we are going to move the whole structure back by 1/8" then reassess the options.
