I have gotten some help with Fusion360 and now have a starboard inlet cover file as well as the issue resolved that I was needing help on. Will post files up tomorrow. Can .stl files be directly uploaded without any issues? I assume so but never tried it. If it doesn't work I will try to post them to Thingiverse.

Here are the .stl files I have created to be able to make the opening canopy mod like I did it. Could the parts be improved upon? Absolutely. I was able to make a slight change to the tab on the underside of Alphas canopy frame to make for a stronger attachment with the pivot arm I designed. I am still learning Fusion 360 and had to have some help from a friend who is more skilled at it than me to make the change to the canopy frame and create the missing inlet cover but we both learned a lot in the process. I will try to put together a mod thread with more pictures and videos to help make it easier for anyone who wants to give the opening canopy a go. I have also included the missing Starboard Inlet Cover below. All together, with the 3D printed cockpit parts, stock pilot figure and a 17 gram metal gear servo the mod added just under 4 ozs. total to the stock canopy/cockpit tub. I did have to shift my batteries (8S) back a little more to get it to CG but it did without much effort.

Has anyone designed a nose gear brace like the one designed for the Avanti? On my 7th take off the set screw right above the wheel came loose and my wheel popped off and the gear plowed into the ground. No real damage, but the mount is loose now. My 3D printed Avanti brace works great, figured a similar design for this jet would be very helpful as the gear doesn’t have the added “softness” of the trailing link.Eventually Gravity Always Wins
