Chapter 13/18 - Nose and Canopy - Part 5

Slow progress lately. I did some more finish work on the canopy frame and I still have quite a bit more to go.
I have also done more work up front in the nose area. I fabricated nose access panel, completed the canard attachment installation including reinforcement layers of glass and installation of the nutplates.

Also after much practice I have nearly finished welding the rudder pedals. They certainly are not pretty, but I think they will work out fine. I still need to attach some sort of bracket to attach each brake master cylinders, however I will wait until I have those on hand and know exactly how they will be installed.
