Well today was another slow day the canopy install was a rough one, its hard to get the proper alignment to make the rear section clear while making the front align. When the installed bulkhead is off a hair it makes it much harder, but I got and in the pictures you will see two washers on the right side I used align the canopy. The linear servo works great and I am uploading a video going over the work so far.
I removed the stock air cylinder lock and will be using a second Actuonix 30mm stroke actuator for the lock but mine will be mounted to the nose instead of the canopy.
I have been putting off the motor install just going to be a lot of trial and error so I skipped on to some easier things.

This is the factory lock, I removed it and will add another Linear servo

Removed a small amount of material for clearance
