The project is a BVM T-33.
Has anyone built an operational canopy for a T-33 ? Any ideas on how to do it?
I am looking for ideas on constructing an aluminun canopy frame that can be raised. Or perhaps there is something out there that can be adapted.
Any thoughts?
Thx

Never built the model, but the full-sized plane used a cylinder to raise the canopy just enough to let the back-seater squeeze under it. A real PITA! Photo is from '65 at Pete Field, Colo.
