Windscreen

6 hrs, 8 rivets
Not tracking time well these days, 6 hrs seems about right.
Prepped and secured windscreen to fuselage and rollbar using SikaFlex. Prepping took over an hour, and it was 2.5 to do all of the Sika tasks, not counting cleanup and removing the masking.





Riveted tabs to fuselage to secure forward edge of windscreen as part of the whole process.
Once it was reasonably cleaned up, started working on miscellaneous items. Changed aluminium oil cooler fitting for steel fittings. What a pain. The bottom fitting on the engine can only be turned about half a face before an entirely different wrench and position has to be used. Sure hope it doesn't leak. The rest was somewhat straight forward.

1700 hrs!

2.0 hrs
Started making the canopy slide rail. Layed out the rivet spacing, then predrilled the 762 rail. Centered that on the 763 spacer, and then match drilled. Bent the 762 to match the 763 curve as close as possible. Then deburred the 762. Resisted the urge to keep going, since 2.0 hrs is enough for a week night.

Spent 30 minutes the previous night clearing the disaster area from the EAA workbench. Ahhh, a nice clean work table! Also in the previous two days, spent a little unlogged time making a shim for the roll bar to get it at 90 degrees to the canopy decks. This took a .063 spacer under the front left bolt of the roll bar flange. I tapered this a tiny bit so the roll bar flange fit nice and snug. Then clamped the slider tracks in place. Ready to start canopy work!
