Brief Description: Trimming the F-821 skin at the canopy junction
I am trying to make sure everything is done for attaching the windshield and now that the top skin is on I noted that the canopy won't close. I did some research and found many folks had to trim back the top skin to allow full travel. I trimmed it approx 1/4" aft of the reinforcement rib and it's just right. I still need to sand it as it is just rough cut with the dremmel.
Here you can see the problem

Much better - the gap gets covered up by the fiberglass layup that i'm dreading...
