Walt,
Thanks for that tip, I should have it made it more clear that the rivet issue or
lack there of was for the rear canopy. I have attached a sheet from LPA Aero
that has some tips. I would definitely invest in special drills for the plexiglass.
A small one to make pilot holes and the size you desire for the holes.

Thanks - After four CJ6, Two Beech 35, Two Navion , One Bell47 and other

crack expensive (customer's) plexiglas. I too use LP Aero materials
-they are well made.

The instructions you referenced Keith differ somewhat from what Walt
recommends. While there are some similarities, Walt's recommendations
are ones that I have seen from other folks who are also very experienced
in how to work with Plexiglas.
I believe that personal experience tends to trump reference articles,
and I believe that was all Walt was saying.
Just my 2 cents.

Walt,
I addressed a post to you and was thanking you for your tips. I did not mean to
tell you to invest in a different drilling process. Instead that comment about
drill bits was intended for the general audience. I should have made that clear.
A guy that hasn't done a million canopies may want to use the method LP
Aero suggest. I did and had excellent results. I have no doubt your method meets
or exceeds that standard. It's no wonder nobody dares post on this site.
Sorry if I hurt your feelings.

You and a few others are very knowledgeable and bring serious value to this
List - I appeal to you to reconsider refraining from further contributing to
this List.
I believe Pappy's comments regarding the limitation of E-mails in conveying
the true spirit and intention of the text is very true. The lack of voice
tone and eye contact is one of the major shortcomings of the E-mail concept
making it very easy to miss the intention (tonality, if you will) of the
written text.
This has happened to me too, several times, both in sending a message that
was misunderstood and misunderstanding a message sent to me...
In reading this evening's latest posts, it is obvious to me at least, that
there was no ill intent with neither one of you - let's agree to continue to
operate within the limitation of the e-mail system and continue to
contribute - we need you and others like you to stay and help the rest of
us, especially newbies who both you and I once were...
I hope you will consider the above,
