The first thing I did today is read the finishing instruction. When looking at dwg 42 for sliding canopy, I noticed the roll bar weldment is sandwitched between F7108A rib and the angle. However, when I riveted the angle to the center rib, I didn't read the drawing carefully, and forgot to rivet a AN960-6 washer between the adjacent rivet to leave the gap for the weldment. So, I had to uncleco the skin, and drill out the rivets to put the washer in. Kind of waste of time, but things like that do happen, it's part of the build.Then, I re-clecoed the skin and superstructure onto fuselage, installed nutplates on F7103B and clecoed them to fuselage as well.
I missed the instruction to put the washer between the F7108A and F7108B
I had to drill out some rivet so I can add the washer. Now you can see the gapfor roll bar support weldment
Everything is clecoed on again
The gap matches the slot for the roll bar support well
Nutplates are installed to the instrument panel support tabs
Instrument tabs are clecoed to top skin
