Brief Description:  Fitting the canopy

No work today (yet; waiting for the call to go skydiving). This issue has been playing on my mind for the last week and is the latest stumbling block for lack of progress. The canopy doesn't meet the frame at the back on each side. The gap is around 7/8". It is easy to squeeze closed with thumb and one finger but I'm concerned that the sikaflex bond might fail at some point in the future, or that it might setup stresses in the canopy that will cause other problems in the future.

I've posted the question (with pic) onto the VansAirforce Forums at the following link:

Just have to wait and see what the RV'ers out there think.
