OK, I know that Van's engineers won't apologize for the terrible
nomenclature, so I will. I'm sorry that Van named 2 little 4" x 12"
triangles 'forward canopy decks'.
These are the pieces that rivet to the top of the top longerons from
about 2" aft of the instrument panel, where they are only an inch wide,
up to the 'sub panel' where they are about 4 " wide.
I have no intention of riveting the upper structure & forward skin yet.
But, clecos holding these F-721A's on the longerons interfere with
fitting the canopy frame. I'm trying to determine whether I'm supposed
to go ahead with riveting these 2 small pieces so I can fit the canopy,
& not interfere with anything else in the process.
Thanks,
Charlie
