Fitting the canopy frame.....continued....
As you can see here, I have had to split the central bulkhead. I guess I am building an RV4-WB (Wide Body).
It was interesting to note how much residual stress was in the structure. When I cut through, the two parts sprang far apart.
The canopy bow is sitting somewhat low. I am wondering if I should also split this. It would mean (I think) matching the curve of the bow, and the instrument panel, a much easier task.
Otherwise, it is all starting to fit pretty well.
