Thanks my friends, Spiros and John, ------------
more sprue glue in the tail, it takes a while to harden.

Not enough test fitting done, the canopy is so thick at the rear it was hitting the seat, so shorten the seat, control stick is so thin it broke, also adding more Plasto to the back of the cockpit to match the canopy.

An area needing its extra attention and, as always, an excellent job, my friend @kalamazoo!

A pity it didn't fit, Allan @kalamazoo
I'm sure you will get those corrections done nicely.

Looks like it is goin' to fight you all the way!
John vd Biggelaar said 5 months, 1 week ago:

A pity to see the bad fitting, Allan @kalamazoo
Could it be that the canopy is deformed, maybe some warm water will get it back in shape.
Spiros Pendedekas said 5 months, 1 week ago:

Pity for the canopy, my friend @kalamazoo. Looking forward to your next steps.
