It had been a while since I looked them over. Their suggested plywood template bending and trial fitting technique is new since I made my canopy. It makes sense to me and looks easier with less possibility for error than the way I did it. Be sure to spend enough time to understand these before you start. 2 cent Tip from Gary's Book of Life: Building an aircraft was all new to me. The Canopy was one of the harder parts. I did not always have the "Aha" type insight until I thought about the problems for an extended time. Some problems did not become clear until two weeks later. When this happens think about it often and work on something else while you give your subconscious mind more time to develop the understanding. This mental technique works for any heavy learning curve situation. You are really programming your brain to work on the problem in the background while getting other useful work done. It avoids the feeling of frustration while you learn new skills. Several times I did not wait long enough because I found a much better way to do it later. Although I am one better for it and harder to fool the next time, it does make me wish I was smarter.
