Finish Kit

Riveting Canopy Assembly ( 5 hrs )

Buffed, then Primed Canopy Skins, etc prior final assembly ( only buffed along rivet lines, leaving Alclad intact, saving time, paint and weight).  Completed Steps 1-7, Sect 38-16 via first cleco'ing Canopy Assembly and 2 fixtures.   Then riveted 2 of 3 Frames and Hinge Assemblies to Canopy Skin.
Also, Hartzell Propeller was delivered today via UPS.  Packaging in excellent condition, and documents confirmed correct prop (ordered Aug 30 just prior closing special "Oshkosh" discount from Vans for bundled Lycoming engine and Hartzell prop).
cleco'd, ready to rivet
