after trial fitting the wings and getting the incidence right on with a digital
level and installing the ailerons positioned with the guide bolted to the outboard
rib and the flaps aligned with the aileron, I find that the flap trailing
edge is about 1/2" below the bottom of the fuselage.
A recent item someone provided suggested that this might happen and a need to bend
the overlapping piece up to "kiss" the bottom skin. Am I missing something?

Neil
Not sure just what you are asking.
The directions fro mounting the windshield show how to mount it to the
roll over bar and the front skin. Once you have it attached, fill in the
gap at the bottom of the windshield with something like micro balloons or
Super Poly Fill. Use two layers of electrical tape (the widest you can
get) to define the edge of the fiberglass layup.
Lay up one strip of fiberglass around the bottom of the windshield and
then lay one up over the bow that just comes down and touches the one from
the front. On the next ply, have the one on the bow come over the first
layup and butt the second one for the front of the windshield to it. That
way they will interlock at the lowest corner. They need to come down to
the edge of the top forward skin so you can maintain that line in the
finished layup. Once you have it all layed up and cured out, sand to a
nice contour with the skin. It should smooth out and blend with the front
skin so that the layup disappears into the front skin.
Lay up the glass until it is about 3/16 inch or greater thick. I did not
do this at first and had the lip that extends back over my slider canopy
get cracked several times. The thicker the layup, the more you have to
work with to make everything smooth.
If you are referring to the side skin of the canopy, it needs to come up
to the windshield and be covered over by the fiberglass layup. The side
skirts are the hardest part of the canopy for me. I went through three
sets of skins before I got one that was at least marginally acceptable

I mushed my first attempt at bending the aluminum fuel line -
tried the coiled spring tube bending kit (so called) - I must
be missing something, can't see how they could ever work.
I see several tools out there on various aircraft tool websites
that look like junior version of the electrical conduit bending
tools. Does anyone have a recommendation/favorite ?

G,
I used a Superior Tools lever-type tube bender on my fuel pickup tubes with
great success. I bought it from Lowes:

Hope this helps.

Gerry,
I use a tubing bender I purchased from Harbor Freight. It works fine.
