I clamped all of the canopy hinge block components together and drilled #12 holes through the forward fuselage channels.
After these were drilled, I removed the center subpanel and installed the C-617 blocks using bolts through the newly drilled holes and then match drilled the 1/4″ hole.
I spent the rest of the evening preparing another hose order for Bonaco. There will still be at least one more hose order after this containing the fuel lines from the servo to the spider and the oil lines from the accessory case to the oil cooler.
