Default Sliding Canopy Help on Spitfire

Hi Folks,

I am in the process of readying my Spitfire MK VIII for competiton this year and I am not staisfied with the current setup for the sliding canopy. Heres what I have right now...

The plastic canopy is glued to two music wires which are soldiered to brass cables which snake through the the brass channel and plastic rod down to a servo below the floor.

This allows me to open and close the canopy by remote (which is very cool) but the brass wire tends to stick and bind and I really and not satisfied with this setup.

I know you guys have great solutions for this situation and I patiently await your responses!


Thanks in advance,

Rick
