Yeah, its cold without saying, snow is the big thing, we have the ground covered, hopefully at some point I can find an opening to fly, hopefully before having to wait till spring. Weather in NE in winter leaves alot for me to be desired, I hate winter, except it lets me get alot of building done.
Pilots stick is broke, Swiper is going down!

The canopy is one of my least favorite jobs to do on a plane, I tack the front and back with thick CA, once I premark everything, then I use Ultracote trim adhesive to trim it out. I pull and stretch it to cover the back and front, its a pain, but it makes it seemless, and when done good, looks like paint. then I added the screws to the side. I would rather do wheelpants. haha. My wheelpants actually came out real well, I used a piece of ply on the outside, inbetween the pant and gear, and one on the inside, to hold the 4-40 blind nut in place. I drilled a hole for the axle to go thru the pant, then you put the pant on, one wheel collar, the wheel, then the outside wheel collar in place. Then add the 4-40 bolt thru gear, thru ply/pant/ply-blind nut, and whalla. Its done!
