T/U Canopy Side Rails Spread Any?

[TX7A]

I'm tweeking the alignment of the tipup canopy side rails to the fuse side.
Those of you that already have the canopy attached / finished, did the rails spread outboard of the fuse side after it was all said & done, or did the rails pretty much hold their shape.

Thanks,
Sam

The move on you

I completed my Tip-up canopy and the frame/side rails do move on you.

In fact when you attach the Plexiglas to the side rails they move outboard a bit. The gas springs also push the frame around as well.

Get it as close a you can before drilling the Plexiglas and the top skin/side skins and then check it as you proceed with the drilling/riveting/screwing.

Keep in mind that you can still adjust the frame up until the time you attach the Plexiglas permanently.
