Canopy frame in place

After an almost two week complete stand still in the project, I am finally working at it again.

My wife helped me place the fuselage on a tabletop, she somehow managed to stay away from the camera. It was then easy to place the frame onto it´s guides. A tiny amount of sanding was needed to make it clear the front skin.

38 caught a problem in time

Yesterday I could not get all holes to line up properly, it would not have been possible to final drill the holes in step 11 on page 38-13 without getting oval holes.

Today I looked into it a bit more carefully and found the problem. The forward part of C-01409 interfered with I think C-01408 on both sides. I trimmed the back of C-01408 about 1mm and the problem went away.

Still working

Recovering files from the NAS, taking forever but It looks like I will be able to save a lot. It was around 4 weeks since I made the last backup. So there are not so much that needs to be rescued but finding these files in the around 7 TB of disk space is a huge task.
