This confuses me as it seems a tight fit just with the fram sliding fwd without the canopy on it. Can you elaborate some on what youve seen so far regarding this?
Thanks

Bill,
That is correct, 4 x 1/8" Sika gaps = 1/2" side to side (if measured at the top edge of the canopy skirts)
The canopy skirt doesn?t slide under the fwd upper skin. You want it to be flush so that the windscreen fairing can cover the joint.
I had to build up the aft edges of the fwd upper skin with epoxy filler to get them in line with the canopy skirts. The filler is about 1/4" on each side.
If I had to do this again, I would adjust the fwd width of the canopy frame so that the canopy skirts line up with the fwd upper skin (with the 1/8" Sika spacers in place).
