There's something I'm troubled about on the manual of the sliding canopy for the RV-7.
When ready cutting the windscreen, you are supposed to adjust the height of the front canopy frame for fitting with the windscreen that's now taped in place.
on page 9-12:
the height of the canopy is adjusted at the roller brackets so the windscreen portion of the canopy is even with, or slightly lower than the sliding portion of the canopy.
I don't understand why they say 'slightly lower'. I would have expected slightly higher. I have no experience with fiberglass yet but I was assuming that it would be better for the transition with the fairing that the sliding canopy would be even or slightly lower than the windscreen.
Is this an error in the manual or am I not understanding the process ?
