In October of 2011, I purchased a Vans RV-8 "QuickBuild" experimental aircraft kit. This blog serves as my builders log and captures the major portions of the build process.

Canopy Cut - Final Fit
Finally finished cutting and trimming the canopy. This too a lot longer than I expected. Multiple cuts were made along the lower and leading edge of the canopy. Each cut lowered the canopy a little more onto the canopy frame to the point where the canopy bottom butted up against the canopy frame rails with very little pressure. The clamps attached in this picture serve more to hold the canopy in place than they do to press the canopy against the canopy frame.
