Brief Description:  Canopy Fine Tuning #2

-Did some additional trimming and tweaking on the canopy skirt, the fuselage skin that meets it at the windshield frame and the handle mechanism. Fitment is getting better each time. I need to work on the track alittle now.
Prior to the windshield install most of the issues were worked out. Now I'm retracing my steps some.
Issues:
Canopy not closing all the way due to interferance with the fwd fuse skin - mostly resolved
Canopy latch mecahnism exterior handle rubbing the skirt - fixed
Canopy wouldn't latch from the outside - fixed
Canopy hard to open after latched. Unlatches fine, but feels jamed on the center track - more work to do in this area.
