I would really like to check with you guys before I do this next step.
My RV-8 Canopy frame sits a good 3" above the rail. The plans call for it to be only a 3/4" to 5/8" gap. That is a lot of bending, and I am having a hard time believing that the rail won't bend in a single location, and possibly crack.
Is that a normal amount to have to remove? I'm trying to figure out why they make them so far off in this case. The other adjustments were very minor compared to this. Is their any special technique to minimize the risk of destroying the frame?
