Painted canopy frame. Worked on center instrument panel
Masked of the top skin of the canopy prior to painting
All setup outside to paint
After painting was complete I installed the canopy pin blocks.
Canopy painted with pin blocks installed
Fabricated the canopy spacer blocks that will be used during installation of the canopy on the fuselage
The center instrument panel needs to be installed, prior to installing the canopy jettison handle for the next step. So I decided to vinyl wrap and do the remaining steps on the center panel prior to moving forward with the canopy
Soldered wires into the potentiometer that will get mounted into the center panel to control the cabin lights
