Dave’s RV-7A Building Log

I riveted the two halves of the aft canopy frame together. Looks good.

I was still waiting on Julie’s help for the main canopy frame, so I did a few other odds and ends. I did the optional trimming on the canopy latch weldment and touched up the powder coating with some paint I bought from Van’s.

I also riveted in the parts for the canopy latch mechanism. Not sure why I waited so long to do this.

I also played around a little with some LEDs I bought from www.superbrightleds.com for $2 something each. I’m thinking that 2 or 3 of each color together will work great. White for the baggage compartment, and red for the main cabin.
