Dick:
I put small grips on each side of the canopy, near the aft end, and use them
to push up on the canopy when it is shut all the way. I also found a little
dry lubricant on the nylon slide helps as well. Best to not shut canopy all
the way - keep aircraft in a hanger.

Hi
What I did was run a small cable from the slide on the canopy rail to th
e canopy handle as you unlatch the canopy the handle pulls the cable and
lifts the rear of the canopy always works without any fuss. If interes
ted I can take some foto's next time I am at the airport.

I am having difficulty with the canopy on my 9A. What happens is that it
is essentially impossible to start it sliding from the closed position.
I thought it was the rear pin blocks that were binding, but it does the
same thing with them completely removed.
If I am inside, I can get it started by slightly pushing up on the rear.
From the outside, the only way is to pull up on the rear. Since the can
opy rear skirts are not yet installed that is now
possible, but when they are installed it will be impossible. Once I get
it to move about 1/2 - 1 inch, then it moves back easily.
I have checked everything I can think of and everything seems to be spot
on, but I am obviously missing something.
Has anyone run into this problem? Does anyone have suggestions as to wha
t I should look for?
