Finish Kit

Canopy Wear Strips  ( 4 hrs )

Per Sect 38-26 Steps 16 and 18, assembled fasteners along Canopy Aft Frame, capturing Seat Retainer.   Tightened carefully to not stress Canopy - per Van's Builder Support (they clarified to only tighten to remove "free play", such can still turn screw heads - to minimize stress on plexiglass).    Per Steps 1-7, Sect 38-27 built LH and RH Wear Strips from a UHMW strip.  Sanded to shape, match drilled to Side Skin, machine c'sunk for shop ends of rivets, then set rivets.  Looking good !
