Bill
Thanks for your help. I was wondering if you might do one more thing for me
and measure the length of your canopy down the center. Mine measures 1900m
m. The Zenith online parts store does not list a separate canopy for the 65
0, (That I can find) but they do brag about the larger 650 canopy in their
sales literature. The way mine sits on the fuselage right now I've got abou
t 10 inches of headroom and it extends from the firewall all the way back t
o the center of the top middle skin. That would be nice but I can't help bu
t wonder what would happen to the aerodynamics.
Thanks again
Carroll

Just went into the shop and measured. The front of mine is right at 190 and
the rear is about 250. My guess is you have the canopy for the 650.

There is a dimension shown in the drawings for the front edge of the canopy
to be 190mm behind the rivet line at the forward top skin to firewall. If
I observe that distance the front fits great but the rear edge of the canop
y is over 600mm back on the top middle skin. Do I have the right canopy?

My Canopy required very little trimming. Be sure you're not moving the end
s in too close (front and back). I used a dremel with a cutoff wheel to tr
im mine.

| Subject: | Re: Trimming Canopy |
Thanks so very much Bill. I am waiting to hear from Zenith but I do have a
plan of attack now.
Mine is scratch built and I stopped building when I anticipated the update
coming so the modifications have not been too big a deal. I thought I would
save money by scratch building but now I don't think so, what money Zenith
didn't get UPS did. I'm retired so I don't consider my time very valuable
which is a good thing because I am beginning my sixth year on this project.
