Re: Sliding Canopy Frame Question - More Details
From: 
Warren Brecheisen <n146wb@cfu.net>
      
      Brett,
      
      After I had the canopy frame fitting the fuselage the way I wanted I drilled
       the canopy itself to the frame only to find out that it distorted the frame
      .  The canopy spread out the lower rails on the frame.  I corrected it by re
      shaping the the bottom edges in a homemade oven.  One has to be extremely ca
      reful with the temperature or you can ruin the plexi.
