Primed canopy frame parts
Yesterday I washed the canopy frame parts. Today we primed them. Tanya even came out to help. She thinks she wants a painted frame with unpainted rivets. I’m going to give it a shot and see if I can pull that off. It was way too windy for shooting primer outside but I did it anyway :). I’m sure half of what I sprayed was carried away in the wind. The end result came out just fine anyway. Tomorrow I’ll start shooting paint (spray can) on all of the parts before riveting. This could be a big disaster (the whole paint/rivet thing) but we’ll see. It is just paint, I know how to patch that up if need be.
After washing parts yesterday, I drilled the little side brackets to the forward side decks that the instrument panel mounts to. Next up on the instrument panel mounting is to chop off both of the center mounting ribs and relocate them further inboard to clear the EFIS displays.
