The problem is that the canopy has moved back about 1/4 " and that creates a gap in the front and tight in the back. I had two location pins on the sides, but its hell to get them in without really pushing had on the canopy. Also with that reward pressure on the assembly the front edges of the canopy bow out a 1/16 or so. I had the canopy where it had a perfect fit with 30 thousands gap all around. Its really depressing situation at this point.

Ops, sounds like you might be one of those "half empty glass" guys (verses half full) that has already decided he is going to ground loop eventually. Kind of like those that say if you haven't landed gear up, you eventually will. I am more of a positive thinker and believe that "PPPPPP" - prior planning prevents piss poor performance. At any rate, differences of opinions is what makes horse races - and my horse is faster than yours. :-) Blue Skies, Buz PS: No, I don't really have a horse, but I do have 400 of them under the hood.
