Canopy structure and upper forward skin: 3.7 hours


  • Drilled hole for AN4 bolt through roll bar and canopy brace. Started with #40 and slowly worked up using the angle drill with good results.
  • Used the angle drill to drill lower holes in canopy brace using reinforcement angle as guide
  • Ground down ridges on fire wall flanges and did a slight "tap down" with the dead blow hammer per Vans tech support advice
  • Re-installed upper forward skin - fit is much improved but not there yet
