Default RE: ESM 50cc Spitfire rework

The canopy will need some stiffening around its opening edge, as will the windscreen, but I'm pleased with the way it all lines up as it is. The canopy is held on the rails using Mick Reeves tiny screws into the nylon snake. There is only 2 per side it the moment but it'll get 8 or so eventually. These screws, although very small, provide a very good, and very neat fixing. The round profile of the snake means that the canopy can pull tight against the snake without binding on the brass rails. Made a start on the rear glazing template, needs another one making but ran out of time for the days 'allowance'
