Brief Description:  Fitting the Canopy Frame to the Fuselage 11

I'm still putting together this canopy frame. I clamped the roll bar on with the wooden spacers and fit checked the side rails. They were too tight so I had to reduce the width of the wooden spacers a little.

The length of the side rails seems exactly right to reach from the front frame to the roll bar and touches at both ends.

However, the angle on the end of the side rails is not perfectly flush with the end where it interfaces with the roll bar. So I sanded off the lip to be smooth.
