November 2017 Update - Section 35 complete

Not as much done since last update as I would like, but I've completed section 35.  One source of delay was self-induced:  I didn't like the way match-drilled holes on the upper forward skin turned out so I replaced the skin, with all the expected issues that come with that - shipping time, skin edge prep, deburring, dimpling, priming, etc.

It turned out great and I finally have completed all riveting of the upper forward skin, attachment of the canopy hinge mechanism and mechanism for canopy release.

Next I'll wrap up end of section 29 (vents) and move on to QB wings which are sitting in the garage ready to go...
