The pile of canopy parts has grown enough that I needed to shoot a bunch of primer in order to move on. I prepped everything and knocked out all of the canopy frame pieces, as well as a few other random parts that were sitting around until a primer day came (like the elevator control rod access covers that go in the very aft end of the fuselage). The temperature was in the high 60's, so that was perfect for priming, but for some reason I had a terrible time getting good coverage without runs. Most of these parts will get sanded before they get a coat of paint, so I'll be able to deal with the runs then.
It looks like I completely forgot to take pictures of fitting the canopy braces that stiffen the front portion of the frame by boxing in the skin and frame. I'll take pictures of those when I drill them to the skins.
