I am finally starting to assemble my RV9A Tip-up project.
I finished the tip-up canopy six months or so ago and removed it for storage while I installed the wiring, panel, engine and FWF.
Now, when I reinstalled the canopy it appears to have been "tweaked". When it is installed, it has raised about 1/4" from the hinge outboard along the pilot side. The hinges and the rear latch both work and the canopy raises and lower smoothly, but has a 1/4" gap at the front corner and along the pilot side to near the rear latch.
I assume something is "bent", but so far can not see where the problem is and what should be unbent. I fear making the problem much worse with attempted corrections.
I am hoping someone has experienced this before or has built enough tip-ups to be an "expert" and to give me some guidance with this problem.
The project is in Sherwood, OR south of Portland.
Any advice or guidance will be appreciated.
