I would be interested to hear what horizontal clearance people have between the portion of the canopy skirt that overlaps the top of the fuselage and the outside surface of the fuselage.
Page 34-04 shows the canopy frame overhanging the fuselage by 1/32".
Page 34-06 section A-A (i.e. the forward half of the canopy skirt) shows a very little clearance (i.e. less than the thickness of the skirt). Whereas, section B-B (i.e. the rearward half of the canopy skirt) shows the canopy skirt touching the outside surface of the fuselage.
On my project the forward half of the canopy skirt has 1/32" clearance to just touching the outside surface of the fuselage. The rear half of the canopy skirt is just touching the outside surface of the fuselage.
Thanks.
