Today I made/remade the side trim and cut out one of the canopy side tubes.

Today I layed out the bow strap. It turns out I started using 0.32 material so I had to start again using 0.25 material.

I started the layout of the bow strap today.

I started today on the canopy hinge made from a P4 hinge. After completing the canopy hinge I moved on to the longeron hinge

I fit the rudder pedals today. I had to ream the holes in the blocks a bit to get the bolts through and I also had to flip one set of the blocks over to get the bolts to line up with the brackets. I did one dry run then greased the blocks and installed and torqued the bolts. It all went together fairly well.

Today I worked on the material take-offs for the canopy and windshield components.
