Brief Description:  Canopy Fitting 9: Finding place to cut

I looked at the drawing and it shows the windshield coming down to contact the fuselage. It does not show any of the lip that the canopy comes with. So gotta find this point and cut off the front of the fuselage.

I used a pen and my fingers and drew a line, followed by placing tape on the cut line. I used tape on my practice cuts so using tape on this real cut is a good idea for consistancy.

There wasn't any way to ensure symetry except estimating and by eye ball. I tried various ways to measure it, but they were still just estimates. So time to cut.
