Canopy seal support angles

Another month went by, with only 6 hours of work on the plane. Ah well, better than nothing. 🙂

I made the two F-644 canopy hinge support channels out of this:

Then I prepared the F-697 subpanel reinforcement.
Cut & deburred…

…then drilled to the center subpanel.

I also managed to make the  canopy seal support angles. The centre one is pretty easy; trim to length, debur and flute to form the shape..

Then drilled it to the centre subpanel.

I chose to trim the angle at the centre reinforcemet rivet, instead of setting this rivet with less than minimum edge distance.

The outboard subpanel angles took much longer to fabricate. The had to be cut instead of fluted, due to the radious.

Fast forward a couple of hours…
