Hi fellow builders.

I saw a builder who had solved the problem with rain entering behind the panel
when you open the canopy:
He had used waterproof lightweight fabric (almost like the fabric a spinaker for
a sailboat is made of) and he had mounted this with velcro across and over the
avionics bay, i.e over the backside of the panel.

The avionis bay was completely protected underneath the cover and the water poured
off to the sides, flowing along the top of fabric and down to the ground.

I'll post a couple of pics on the photoshare-section, but I think it'll take a
few days before it's published.
