| I continued solo riveting / bucking this morning sorting the canopy braces. One or two tricky ones side locations which required a second attempt. | 
|
| Then back on the fuselage and plexi on with clecos. | 
|
| This provided alignment and I marked the forward edge. This will be used to mark the edge for the black internal surface. Difficult to see from the photo, there is a small gap (1/16") around various parts of the forward edge - won't be a problem with the fibreglass but not ideal. | 
|
| Also put the VANs struts back in - one change from the drawing was the addition of a washer between the ball lug and the taped stock. Otherwise the stud would protrude into the frame. | 
|
| A photo for the hell of it - with the canopy in the 'up' position. |
