Finish, canopy in process
Rear window holes are done. Roll bar tapped and top skins dimpled.

A nice warm day for drilling plexiglass. I did this a bit differently than called for in the plans. Here, the rear window has been drilled to #40 around its perimeter.
On the workbench, I opened all of the holes in the rear window first to #36 and then to #27.
The roll bar holes have all been drilled out to #36. Tomorrow, they’ll all be tapped 6-32.
The RV-14A panel in progress at SteinAir, Inc. Looking good…
Finish, canopy progress
More canopy frame fun. Leveled, checked for twist, corrected as necessary (not much at all – a few tenths of a degree), and drilled all components together as/where necessary.
