I am about to attempt the canopy fibreglass fairing layup. I have read the instructions several times but still have a query. Step 1 on page 34-13 says to lower the canopy after doing some masking & adding duct tape. Figure1 on that page shows the canopy down with the canopy strut in the compressed position. All of the work on pages 34-13,14 & 15 is done with the canopy closed, then step 1 on page 34-16, after drilling a hole to access the pivot bolts, the instruction is to remove the pivot bolts & remove the canopy. The struts are still compressed, & it is dangerous & difficult to remove bolts when they are in this state; I know this because I foolishly started to unscrew one of the strut bolts some time ago, with a result that caused me to buy a new strut & nurse a bruised thumb. Have I missed something, or should I remove the struts totally before starting the fibreglass work? Thanks for any help/advice, Cheers, DEAN...
