I don't recall finding in the instructions anywhere at what point to rivet the C-702 tip-up canopy skin to the WD-716 frame. So prior to finishing the final trims on the canopy itself, I went ahead and riveted it on. I've now discovered two problems. -- The C-702 skin has 'flaps' on each side that extend back along the WD-716/725 frame. These flaps transition to the C-603 canopy side skins. These flaps need to get riveted to the WD-725 side rails but the holes aren't pre-punched so if you don't pay attention you could forget. (Like me!) The problem is that if you forget, there isn't enough room to get behind the flap to countersink the frame for a dimple. Refer to DWG 49, the ISO VIEW, you can see reference to the two rivets at the aft edge of the C-702 skin. -- Even more importantly, the forward mounting point for the C-690 gas struts is a little hunk of aluminum block that gets screwed to the WD-716 frame. The screws are installed from the outside through the C-702 skin, then the WD-716 rail and then into the C-725 Ball Stud Fwd Mount. The hole in the C-702 skin for the #10 screw needs to be dimpled and the frame gets countersunk. Refer to DWG 49, C-690 INSTALL ISO located in the lower left portion of the plans. You can't access this area with the skin riveted on. Looks like I am going to have to drill out some rivets along the sides so I can countersink the holes for the rivets and screws. UGH!
