After destroying the previous canopy hoop jig (the edges splintered preventing the jig from being able to hold the hoop securely). So I quickly jig sawed out a new jig with greater excess curvature to prevent a reoccurence of the same problem.
A beatifully made throttle quadrant has arrived from Aircraft Spruce in the states. The custom centre console will take a fair bit of extra work to place this element with cognisance of the clearance required by the elevator horn/lever on the aileron torque tube. I think the extra hours will be worth it in the end.
