Nov 07, 2021 8 canopy fit continued Category: Fuselage
This entry covers several short sessions spacers out several days apart. I was out of town last week and have been pretty hit or miss for the last several days. Trying to move fwd on the canopy, but also trying to work on it only when the shop is around 70*. Which is getting harder to get to consistently here in November.

Drilled at attached the rollers to the canopy frame, created 1/8" spacers out of some clear tubing from Ace Hardware ($1.49 for a foot off of the bulk spool, sweet!), and clamped the canopy with the spacers to the frame.

Marked, taped and cut the canopy to the aft dimension and approximate final dimension at the horizontal square tubes. I had also match drill the side skirts and supports. The next step will be to clamp all that together for a final trim, which I hope to get done tomorrow.
