JAC and JAC ( Jackson and his wife Jess ) came up from Canberra this weekend and while they were here gave me a hand to install the gas struts for the canopy doors. We had quite a discussion how we were going to do the job. We came up with a plan and it worked out very well. Their input was greatly appreciated, thank you both. ( Jackson wants the aircraft flying ) The build manual says use 4 x12 S/S rivets to attach the brackets, I decided to use button head screws through the fibreglass canopy. Once the gas strut was in position I had to release a very small amount of pressure from the strut via the grub screw to allow an acceptable force on the door.
