Finish Kit

Canopy Assembly ( 3 hrs )

Completed Steps 10 to 16 at Sect 38-16:  Machine C'sunk Rail Base, then cleco'd on Canopy Frame Close Out panel.   This really stiffened entire assembly due to box structure.   Re-installed the 2 fixtures and determined perfect spacing - no forcing/flexing/adjusting needed.   Blind riveted two Splices, then riveted 3rd Frame Flange.  Opened Propeller packaging and confirmed in excellent condition - impressive as each end is encased in foam.
