I had trouble with the forward seals on the canopy. Just could not get the
ones in the kit to work to my satisfaction. I looked at Spruce and Wicks
for something better. I ended up a Lowes. Yes I go there a lot. I found a
garage door seal that looked like it would work. I ended up trimming it
slightly but I am really happy with the end result.
Check out my website if you want to look.

Getting close to moving to the hangar!
Merry Christmas and Happy building.

nice job. you will have a seal problem though where you have the two hatch cover hinges. try putting an auto trim seal on the inside. high density foam trim from auito shop. works welll. when the hatch is shut the window trim just sits ahead of it. I tryed it and the plane is dry flying in florida rains. best bet thugh is turn hinge completely around so they sit flush. They open just fine that way as well.

Hi Matt,
I'd recommend you make the hole access for the latch lock a slot, and
after you paint that surface, put a line across it
to show the position of the latch lock. I've failed to have the canopy
latched twice because I didn't see the position of the latch
lever prior to take off. I don't make that mistake any more.

Nice work by the way.
