Finished Drilling Canopy Frame, Started Strut Mounts

I finished drilling the end flanges of the reinforcement pieces and then disassembled the frame.  My buddy Andre stopped by and got most of this deburred.

While he was working on that, I fabricated the forward strut mounting points from bar stock.  Somehow the center holes ended up drilling up slightly off-center, but this won’t matter as the aft attach points can easily be adjusted to make the struts the right length.  These were surprisingly time-consuming to make since their fabricated from raw stock.  They have to be cut to length, corners rounded, holes drilled and tapped.  There’s at least an hour of work in these two pieces.
