Brief Description:  Fitting the Canopy Frame to the Fuselage 9

Plans call for the side rails to match the curve of the fuselage. Mine seem to match right out of the box sorta. I can see some squeeze marks on the flange. This must be where a shrinker was used. I like the result. I will need to use a shrinker on the skin around the outboard curves.

I put the spacers in place. I made two more spacers so I have three per side instead of two.

I put the side rails in place and now I'm studying the plans and drawings. The instructions to adjust or modify the side rails doesn't make sense yet. I need to put the skins on and look closer.
