Positioning the rear track assembly

I moved the rear track assembly backwards and forwards until I got the proper clearance, placing the rear canopy 1/8" below the fuselage skin. Depending on where the rear track assembly is placed determines the height of the rear top bar of the canopy frame. Moving it forward lifts the rear canopy frame, moving it back lowers the rear canopy frame. The instructions state "Be sure that the top center of the frame at the rear is 1/16-1/8" below the F-7112 aft top skin (to allow for the canopy thickness). I taped the rear track to the fuselage and checked it again.
