Brief Description:  Canopy Frame

This is going to be a challenge.

I fabricated the canopy frame slide rail and attached it to the fuselage (Pic1). I got a bit ahead of myself when I attached it, but I should be ok. I mounted it right down the centerline and located it according to the plans, but apparently a little misalignment may help with installing the canopy. Oh, well.

Now I have to bend and twist the frame (as do all RV builders) to make it fit the airframe. I put into place for the first time (Pic2) and it's not too bad. Too high and skewed a bit to the right. Next time out I'll work on the skew and then the height.

I use Pic 3 for encouragement. :-)
