Forward Canopy Frame Complete

Finished riveting the forward canopy frame assembly. It was a busy piece with a lot of rivets of all types. Much time was spent making sure it was square and not twisted. Per plans I was checking for twist every 4th rivet which slowed things way down. When twist was found it could be removed by twisting it in the opposite direction to correct it. This process got progressively harder as more rivets were set. In the end it came out extremely close. Depending on my measuring technique the two side have a difference between 0 and .05 degrees.
