Used a #12 drill bit to drill 5 holes in each of the two canopy hinges to secure them to the top longerons.
Began to countersink the holes and tried out the first machine screw and corresponding nut. Unfortunately the nuts were the wrong size for the machine screws (even though I ordered exactly what the plans called for) so I’ll come back to this step once I get smaller diameter nuts.
A 1″ diameter hole was located in the shoulder support below the left side top longeron for the canopy locking rod.
