Hi Guys,
The RV-8 dwg 44 shows a gap of 3/4" to 5/8" between the rear bow of canopy frame WD-819 and the top of the canopy slide cap. I bent the frame to 5/8" before putting on the canopy and thought I was in tolerance.
Now I'm fitting the canopy, and the weight of the rear of the canopy causes the gap to close to 3/8".
Should that 3/4" - 5/8" gap be with or without the canopy weight? I called Vans but support is out until around Thursday.
Cheers,
Bob
