Scott, Thanks, you are much more of an engineer than I. I am going to drill the hole, backfill the rivet with flox, put it in the hole and squeeze lightly. The next day, I am going to remove the mandrel and hook the whole thing up.
I thought about buying the static ports from Wicks and that is probably a good thing and would cost only a little more. The reason that I didn't is because this one has it's own attaching mechanism and is so simple. I love simple. Window tapes have been applied and tomorrow I will remove the safety angles at the lower ends of the windshield and tape that in. Then it is on to fill and sand. I will bet that I have the top of this plane painted by the end of this month. You wouldn't believe how big this canopy looks. It is normal size, but it looks as big as an RV. I love it.
