| Sorted the brake lines, not tightened for final fitting yet, but at least all the lengths and couplings are sorted. | 
|
| Dad swapped out the VANs AN4-12A for new AN4-13A along the top of the spar. The original bolts were very marginal in length, something we had orderd a while back but not completed yet. | 
|
| I spent a large chunk of the afternoon looking at the installation of a simple cam lock for the canopy locking mechinism. This is the locked / closed position. | 
|
| and this the open / unlocked. The key is to find a location for the 3/4" skin hole where the two lock positions don't interfere with mechinism. | 
|
| With a stiffener bracket and a 3/16" spacer the solution is getting there. The final spacer bush for the cam arm can be sorted later, I need to do a little more and then it is ready for spraying. We have a number of bits ready for paint, but the weather is helping just at the moment. |
