Finally got a chance to work on the canopy frame. I just finished installing 550 square feet of laminate flooring and moldings. So, from a previous post here, I found that I needed to cut 1/2 inch off the the front bow to lower the bow to the proper height with respect to the roll bar. On the money there but, the gap between the square side tube and the canopy deck was way out of range. I checked all dimensions and placements, everything is where it should be except the rear bow was way too low. Again, everything measures good. The only way to raise the rear bow would be to remake the rear sliding block and make it taller by 1/4 inch. The job took about an hour on my mill and looks good. Placed on the track and bolted to the frame, the rear bow is now 1/16 inch low from the forward aft skin per plans. The only deviation now will be that the rear of the canopy will sit 1/4 inch higher when open. I do not think this is a problem. Glad I have the lathe and mill in the basement, they have come in handy more than once on my build.
Take care and fly safe.
