working on the main canopy , a perimeter light frame (1/32) plywood , then has to be drilled all around , you can see a test piece of the 2-56 screw , I'm still not sure if this is going to work the way I want to and there is nothing showing on the original drawings but will see

I am also working on my Laser 200 so here are some photos. this morning working on the canopy magnetic hold down which is very strong, so you can see the small dots on the side so I can pop it off on one side

Is it hinged on the other side, or does the hole thing come up. I like that set up. I have a 33% I am recovering, that would work for mine.

Referring to the laser , no it is not hinged, just popping one side from the magnets, the easy to lift
