Primary Canopy Latch
February 26- March 3, 2007
I built the canopy latch and installed it this week per drawing 48. The only tricky part was cutting the slot in the side skin. I used lots of masking tape to protect the adjacent areas of the skin and cut the rough opening with the pneumatic cut off tool I purchased fromn harbor Freight. It went really well. Then I used a small file to finish the slot to final dimensions. Very nice, and no oops! I painted the ugly yellow knob with some left over Ford Truck metallic green. Looks much better!
