I read the plans and the instructions. I've reviewed the forums for some info and seen some older posts. Although the instructions say I should see a width of 40 13/16 distance between the two side rails, like others before me, I'm seeing the distance of 41 1/4.
My frame sides are about 1/16 inboard from the skins and my canopy frame is higher than my roll bar. So far, so good.
The rails are parallel 41 1/4 front and back. I've only drilled the front screw hole in both rails. The aft screw hole (if I drill it) on the side rail would hit the edge of the longeron. My other screw holes are all fine. Is this a problem? What photos I been able to fine show that the aft screw is not on the longeron.
The aft bow of my canopy frame is hitting the skin. I'm anticipating the canopy would pull that away. Has anyone had the need to trim the skin back?
The plans show the screw no where near the longeron. Considering how the plans weren't very reliable, what have you guys seen. Am I on the right track, or am I screwing it up?
Appreciate any insight
