TF Giant P47 Bubble Canopy
I realize I'm really missing something, but need to ask the question. I'm building Giant P47. I am not putting in a cockpit.
It appears from all directions, that when you have installed the "CB" and "IP" pieces of plywood, and left the cockpit floor in place, when you cut out the canopy, it doesn't cover the entire open area. Do I need to go back and re-make the fuselage sides, bringing them further up towards the canopy? Hope this makes sense.
Thanks.

RE: TF Giant P47 Bubble Canopy
Please check how you trimmed the canopy. If you build according to the plans, you won't have a problem with the canopy fitting over the cockpit hole. You should not have to extend the side upwards to meet the canopy. Did you cut the canopy on the wrong lines? How did you make the fuselage cutout?
