Advanced Systems called me and said, "before we go further on your panel we need you to make sure your canopy fully closes and doesn't hit the canopy." I said, good point because i don't think I ever tested this. So I did.
I installed the panel and the canopy and checked the fit everywhere.
Only issue is the gap between the canopy and fuselage. Dang again. I will have to fix this before flying. It will require adding a fiberglass overhang to cover up this gap. More on that later. I'll do it after I rivet the final skin on top of the fuselage.
