Working on my panel and canopy frame at same time. RV8 with Showplanes fastback.
I'm looking for how much of the instrument panel gets covered when the canopy is closed. The front brace of the canopy frame sits slightly in front of the panel. I've seen panels with little consideration of this and instruments right up to the edge while the demo RV8 fastback has a 1" space all way around.
So you fastback guys:
When your canopy is closed how much panel is covered and how much do I need to leave in order to not obscure anything?
Pics would be nice here
