Aren't those fancy noise cancelling headsets supposed to cancel out pesky
noises like your canopy buzzing?!!

In some cases the buzzing on our (well made) canopy can be louder than our
200 Hp engine.

I'm planning to open up the gear towers (only connecting the center and
lower lightening holes), but am considering a different approach to
restoring the lost strength from removing the web than I have seen on
other builder's web sites. Rather than completely plating over the open
hole, how about an H-shaped plate that would essentially restore the
cut-out web? The cross-bar section would incorporate the radii of the
mid and lower lightening holes with the vertical legs extending to
approx. mid-point of the holes. I'd probably use .063 mat'l for a
little extra stiffness with bolt spacing about 150% of existing rivet
spacing. Haven't worked out actual dimensions yet; just a concept so
far. The primary benefit would be eliminating the multitude of nut
plates. Also, the lightening holes would still be there for access to
anything that might not need the larger opening.
