I am working on attaching the forward canopy frame and C-702 canopy skin on my 7a tip up. How much clearance do you have between the 702 skin and the F771 forward fuselage skin? Vans states .020 to .032 but I can't seem to get mine closer than 1/16 of an inch. Looking at photos from Oshkosh it appears that 1/16 gap (or even larger) is pretty common.
Also - is it typical for the 702 skin to sit a bit higher than the forward fuse skin?
