The plan is to secure the rear hinges with a bolt and secure the front of the canopy with two hatch latches on the lower front of the frame. To do this I needed to make a canopy frame bow on the front of the canopy frame. I will use the 1/16" G10 material I made the servo hatches from.
The G10 plate is held against the front of the canopy to trace the outside shape of the frame bow.
Outside edge traced.
I taped the G10 to the front of the canopy frame and traced the inside shape.
Canopy bow frame traced ready to cut. The hatch latches will engage the canopy bow on each side at the bottom on the inside of the canopy. They will be hidden behind the lower forward part of the canopy wind screen frame. To be continued...
