I'm now flying my 601 and am feeling a cool breeze on the back of my neck.
on the ground the canopy is nice and tight to the rear deck but in flight it rises about 1/2 inch. I cant see where it is moving
This aircraft has been modified so there is a piano hinge on the right and a locking mechanism on the left. At the front it is nice and tight thanks to new seal from Zenair, the sides are flush with the fuselage except at the rear, about at my shoulder the canopy bows out about an inch. I have filled that with weatherstrip. Should the canopy be flush with the fuselage all the way back?
The brace across the back of the canopy was obviously down near the baggage compartment floor at one time but was moved about halfway up the rear bow.
Any body have a solution?
