Default fitting canopy frame

When I close the frame, I have interference from the skin at the rollover bar. Is anyone else having this problem? What solution are you using, trim the skin or bend it outwards?

Default which plane are you building

I am assuming a 8 since you said rollover bar, and I am also assuming the front top skin. I think you can do a couple of different things here. I cut the top skin back to be flush with the support bracket that gets pop riveted to the roll bar. It all gets covered up with glass anyway.

Thanks Randy,

I thought that most would do this but wanted to ask. I am building a 8A. Getting ready for the "big cut".
