Brief Description:  Canopy trimming

Without getting too involved, did a little trimming on the front and sides. Ready to set it aside now and work on the canopy frame.

Couldn't resist a chance to try out the 'enclosed space' and see what headroom was like. With a very soft pillow, there is enough room for a fist over my head, but with 'real cushions' it is going to be a lot closer. Also, need some height to have visibility over the sunshield. Felt like sitting in the bottom of a hole,

The real challenge was getting out again. If I'd had the seat back it would have been a little more comfortable and staying longer would have been an option. However it was difficult to find anything to grab for leverage. I'd seriouly consider putting a 'removable' control stick on the pilot side to allow leg movement. Of course, with everything finsihed and riveted, it will be better.

Oh yeh, the canopy fit to the rollbar and frame 'bow' was very good. Paper panel pictures were also scanned for ideas.
