I finally did it and pulled the trigger on an RV-7; which passed it's pre-buy inspection with flying colors.
The aircraft has a tip-up canopy - after several flights - during the last 12" or so of travel when closing the canopy (or ~12" of initial travel when opening the canopy) the trailing edge of the canopy has a pronounced movement to port. The movement during this 12" or so of the canopy arc is enough to have the inside edge of the starboard side of the canopy contact the outside edge of the starboard seat.
Any thooghts?
