On the drawing it says to insert an AN960-6 washer between F7108A and F7108B to allow space for the "hatchet" end of the canopy support. Well, first, there were no AN960-6 washers supplied with the fuselage kit (as far as I can tell). Second, I could steal one from those supplied with the finish kit, but AN960-6 washers are only 0.031" thick anyway, so how does that provide enough space for the canopy support end which is 0.075 thick? What did you guys do who have already passed this point in construction? I am sending this to the RV7 list as well since I believe the construction is the same.
