Canopy frame assembly ( 3 hrs )
Today I ordered the bundled Lycoming IO-390 (w/ E-Mag option) plus the Hartzell 74" Blended Airfoil propellor via Van's ...just ahead of the Sept 1 deadline to gain the $1000 discount. In the shop, continued Sect 38-09 Steps 1-5. Required using both rivet gun/bucking bar and the "Main Squeeze" to get these rivets done - and one joint required blind rivets. Ready to add Splice plates joining LH to RH frames.
