Installing the right F-721 fwd canopy deck - 2 hours

 I managed to squeak out a small work session today. I riveted the right F-721 fwd canopy deck to the fuselage.


 As well, I needed to dimple the holes for the vent support brackets in the fuselage side skins. I used the pop rivet dimple dies for this. While they do the job, they don’t do the best job at making a crisp dimple. On the other hand…ever try to drill accurate holes when they are already dimpled?…haha can’t be done. I will live with these being so so dimples.


 

 Last small item, I riveted the 4 nutplates onto the fwd canopy decks.
