Mounted instrument panel frame. Worked on canopy release mechanism

Riveted the instrument panel frame into place

Mounted gas struts for canopy

Drilled bolt hole for canopy release mechanism

Fabricated canopy release pushrods. I used the mill and lathe for these steps. I feel sorry for folk who half to do this by hand. Doesn't seem like an easy thing to make accurately by hand

Drilled bolt holes

Need to mill slots. I used a bolt through the previously drilled hole do determine when I had the holes perpendicular.

Milled the slots using 1/16 and 1/8th end mills
