Brief Description:  canopy frame bending-1

Today is xmas day and me and my dog Piper headed to the hangar to do a little work on the plane. Ended up getting a flight in sice the weather was too nice too pass up on the oppotunity.
I did manage to start bending the aft most frame bow down. It started out aprox 2.25 inches above the slide cap while in the fully closed position. It needs to be 20/32 to 24/32nds above. Managed to get it bent to with in 1/4 inch with just using my weight. Id bend some and then install it to check the distance. Back and forth.
I also tried to determin how best to tweek the frame side to side and where it needs to be for best fit of the skirt. Havent got that figured out yet but the thought process is engaged.
