Brief Description:  Rollbar, Backrest, Canopy Rails, & Latch - Part 01

In preparation for the dreaded canopy cutting and fitting, a number of things needed to be fitting installed including the Roller Rails for the canopy frame, the Rollbar, the pilot's backrest support, the front fuselage skin, and the Canopy latch handle and catch. I'm happy to report that all the various assemblies came out great and I'm pleased with all. I might have made the latch a little too "loose", so I might have to recut one of those, but I won't know that for sure until quite a bit later in the canopy process. For now, it works great.
