Fuselage May 2007 Updates May 20, 2007 Canopy Top Track & Rudder Pedals - 4 hr Getting ready to reinstall the rudder peddals and complete installing before I rivet in the center firewall section. I went to a flyin on Saturday and saw some pedals done in black. Since I am going with the black on the canopy frame and rails I decided to do that as well so I primed and painted the left side pedal. While I was waiting for the different coats to dry I started installing the canopy track. I had drilled to holes already so I installed those screws first and then drilled the other holes with it screwed down tight. Also drilled the hole in the baggage top wall for the threaded rod which holds the front of the track.
