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.

Just a quick test fit of the sub-panel and upper top skin (last skin of the fuselage kit!) to the forward fuse. Looks good!
