Here you can see how
far back the canopy
had to go before it
made contact with the
fuselage.
At this point was also
still adjusting the hoop
curve.
One of the things I learned
when I got the newer photo
guides was that it was alowed
split the 7/8 tube frame where
hoop fits into the frame.
Without the split it was almost
impossible to move the hoop
in the frame.
