I can't be the only one that has this issue. I hope somebody offers a clue.
I'm nearly finished on my 7A and putting my tip-up canopy on for final time. When I open (lift up) the canopy I hear a snap at a certain place. Going down, no snap. I can find the exact spot and raise and lower the canopy an inch and repeat the snap, snap, snap, snap. But I can't find the cause. It happens at about 1/2 way up. Very repeatable and I think I can feel it near the midline.
It is not the front edge of the canopy sticking on the fwd top skin. I sounds near the hinge. I think it is the aft edge of the subpanel flange hitting the front of the canopy frame, but I can't see it happening. And I keep sanding the flange back with no affect. Maybe I need to go radical on it.
So anybody have a snap upon opening the tip-up canopy? What was it?
