With the help from the Fam, I re-installed the canopy to check where I needed to trim. I ended up extra washers (for now) to get myself some extra clearance while I tried to open and close. I took off what I think is a lot off the corner, but now it moves freely. I want to get some pictures from some flying versions while at Oshkosh.
