July 6, 2015 – I riveted the right canopy decks.
The F757 plates need to be trimmed based on what kind of canopy will be installed. Since I’m doing a slider, I needed to trim out the rounded corner. I marked one of them, then clecoed the two together and started the cutout.
Once they were done I alodined and painted them both.
For some reason, everyone in the house was still lazy from the holiday festivities, so I couldn’t rivet the left side rails. So I started to put the upper skins in place.
The F706 and F707 bulkheads get secured in place by the F656 gussets. These really can’t be installed yet because the bulkheads move until fixed in place by the skins. So I clecoed the gussets to the bulkheads and started clecoing the skins. What a pain…
Finally got the skins in place, then I drilled the two top stringers.
Time: 6:00
