Push rods & forward canopy decks
I finished up the elevator push rods by putting on the ends. No biggie there. (I put the short one in the tunnel first, then riveted on the end.)
Most of the evening I spent match drilling/countersinking the triangular shaped forward 721 canopy decks. These sit on top of the longeron and eventually the panel will attach here.
TIP: When working with the canopy decks and these pieces, leave the ends as square as possible as they butt up against each other. The 3M scotch brite wheel has a tendency to round the corners off. Just a cosmetic thing to take into consideration.
