Andreas warned me the cockpit would take a while to install, he was not wrong! There is a lot of test and trim.
I realised too late that leaving the front side glass out until the canopy slides were mounted would have made life easier☺️
You can see how the track pulls the front down as the canopy finally closes. Getting the cockpit tub to seat under the top deck so the canopy shut line is consistent needs a little cleaning up of the rear tub shape.
