Continuing on with the Canopy

I finished straightening the Canopy and put in the window guides

Then I checked for fit

Then I put the back window in

More small jobs and the start of the Canopy Frame

I continued looking for things to do while I wait for my wiring

I put the nylon blocks in

Finished the Flap Handle gear

And started on the Canopy Frame by sanding off the weld

Working around the wiring Back Order

Without the wiring, I have been looking for things to build.  I do not want to put anything in the center tunnel until I have all the wiring routed

I put the flap handle together

I put the bushings in the control sticks

I made the control rods

And I built my tow bar that I got for Christmas

Getting a few things done

Vans is in the process of upgrading their dash panel to the new Skyview system.  Because of that, my finish get did not come with any of the electrical wiring that I need.  All the wiring is on back order until the Skyview is released.  This is what the new panel will look like so I think it is worth the wait.

While I wait I have been finding little project to work on

Here is the before and after of the hanger floor

I was able to move the wings down to the hanger

And I got a chance to watch Gary fly his plane

A little bit done this weekend

I spent most of the weekend moving parts down to the hanger.  I got a little done.  I finished the wing pins, put the grips on the sticks and flap handle and got the tires mounted

Painting the interior

Today it was 80 degrees out so I decided it would be a good time to paint some of my interior parts.  Don't know when I will get another chance like this.  I masked of all the sight holes on the fuel tank with happy faces.

Then I prepped and painted all my parts

While waiting for the paint to dry I worked on the wing pins.  Once the epoxy dries I will assemble and be done with them

The Finish Kit came this week

Christmas came early this year
