More adjustments on the Canopy Frame height
After reading the section that stated "You should try to get the frame bow to be approximately 1/8-3/16" bigger than the roll bar, all the way around. The point on the roll bar that has the most curve (10 o'clock and 2 o'clock) should be a little larger (a full 3/16") than on the top or the sides", I decided that the drawing below must be misleading somehow. After a long discussion with other on Van's Air Force, I found that most other builders said that it would be better to add washers to bring the canopy frame up into position, rather than finding out later that the frame is too high. So after "eye-balling" the fit from the front of the fuselage, I figured how much to take off each front pipe to get a consistant 1/8"+ distance all around the canopy frame curve when comparing it to the roll bar.
