I'll wait until after The Big Cut this coming weekend. But marker-scribing a test 3/4" overhang trim line for the canopy to follow the aft bow curve so far shows that I would have to trim a lot more from one side of the canopy than the other. The start of the scribe line, from the aft slider mount, is 9 1/2" away on one side, while only 5 1/2" away on the other. Measuring from the aft canopy trim edge to the forward end of the scribe line is 11" on one, but only 10" at the other side.
Everything else looks fine. The frame is centered, with no appreciable gaps midway aft. There's a gap at the latch and front bow, since I can't clamp there yet. That's why I'm waiting until after The Big Cut, and refitting to the fuselage, to double-check these scribe lines.
Anyone else have anything similar, so I'm not pulling my hair out double/triple/dodeca-questioning myself?
