tilt forward canopymods
Mike Steinsland
Hi Guys,
I'm doing a forward tilting canopy, I have the drawings for this but I'm not sure about how the back of the canopy is modified. I see that the bottom rear is cut at an angle to allow for clearance as it tilts up and away from the seat bulkhead. If anybody has those dimensions and maybe some photos they could send me I would really appreciate it. Any suggestions as to what to watch out for while I'm doing this would also be appreciated. Cheers Mike

Do your drawings match these?

Mike---------- This is how I did mine. Not quit to plans, but I did the same on my other airplane and it works.
I just watched Jays' short video and then looked out the window at 10 inches of snow. Seven months till summer. Chris -- This email has been checked for viruses by Avast antivirus software. https://www.avast.com/antivirus

Hey guys THANK YOU SOO MUCH!! A picture is worth a thousand words. I thought that piece had to go completely across from side to side. Man was I scratching my head on that. So simple now that I see it in a photo. Thanks for the files as well Kris. I had cut those hinges and am not 100% satisfied with how they look. My brother has been a cnc programmer all his career so I'll get him to work with them and see if he can get something made for me. Thanks again As for the snow.....kinda have mixed feelings. I'll be plowing the 400 highway this winter. If it snows I have to work, but I also get to hit the slopes once we clear the road. If it isn't snowing, I get to spend time with my baby in the shop and still get on call pay. Hope it doesn't hamper your flying too much Chris. Cheers
