I've been having a heck of a time getting the sliding canopy right. I've got it so that if the side rail frame is just outboard by 1/16" I can clear the skin. If I have it flush with the fuselage or inset by 1/16" per plans, there's no way to clear the skin. All other measurements are right on. It's hitting at the 9 and 3 o'clock positions.
I've spoken to a few people, a bunch of help from some great builders here.
One of the fixes I've heard is to trim the skin until the frame clears that corner. Van's said that's a last resort. But how do you know when to throw in the towel and trim the skin? Assuming most don't.
I'm ready to move on!
