Rear canopy bow profile

[Freemasm]

Took a while but finally got a good profile on the front canopy bow.

Regarding the rear, is there a general dimension the rear bow should trace relative to the bulkhead? At the top (after getting the 1/8” dim from extended top line of the track to OD of bow), the extended turtle deck intersects the ~ middle of the bow tube. This changes quickly and inconsistently around the periphery. Left vs right side is also inconsistent.

Your help/experience/recommendations will probably save me dozens of interaction, minimum.

Please share what you can. Much thanks.

Example =

If keeping the dimensions at the track/slider block per instructions, the rear bow is 1/2D (1/4”) proud of the #7 bulkhead and extended line of the turtle deck. The plexi will add another 3/16” of height.

Is this what I should be aiming for at the point? What about the rest of the bow?

Had some good phone conversations today mostly about bow/bulkhead clearance. Can the hive mind add something here about canopy->skirt-> fuselage transition?

Would be much appreciated.

I'm not much help, mine is a tip over. So I just tried to be flush with the turtledeck all the way around. What you have going there looks good to me. I would try to keep that relationship all the way around as long as it will still clear at the bottom when sliding back.
