Scott, Your fix is easy. All you need to do is reinstall new bushings with an undersize hole and redrill with the canopy frame in place. OR start with a new set of blocks, and using a short hinge pin like I did and then drill the 2 mounting holes again, with the canopy frame in place. Problem solved for under $10 and under 1 hour.

In the end, I think mine came out great. I'm very happy with it, fun flying.I think I need this explained again. I'm missing something.
I just did this and I accidentally took too much off. The center part is at 0.15" just over an eighth of an inch and now I am really upset. Has this happened to anyone else and what do you suggest I do so it doesnt look like crap?

After reading these posts and I do have a good line on the front edge, but the tip up leading edge sits proud of the front deck skin by about the skin thickness. I have to pull down with several strips of duct tape to get it nearly flush in the curved portions. Is this normal? I can't see or feel any interference under the skin. Also I haven't seen any reference to the .032 gap for the tip up clearance dimensions. Where is that at?
