Thanks, Craig. I'll work on trying to get something to post that is worth uploading. Right now, it's working very smoothly with a tight fit of the canopy/windscreen when closed.

I got a lot done on the cockpit canopy and servo driven movement open/closed. I have it all glued and taped down until I check it out tomorrow to see how it came out. The movement of the canopy works pretty well, and I'm hoping that when I remove the tape the canopy will make a good tight fit to the windscreen.

After that is all worked out, I still have a lot of small details to add to the cockpit, like the emergency release handle for the canopy, and more camo details using photos of the real aircraft as a guide.

Cheers

Yes! It fit Great!! Making a powered canopy adds to time and brain damage, but it was worth it, I think. I think I'll be ready for the maiden sooner than I thought, possibly next week if the weather is good, even though I still have a lot of detailing to do. That will be a continual project.

I was unsuccessful uploading the two short videos I made of the canopy closing and opening. For now, I'll just posts two photos in the open and closed positions. I did try You Tube but was unable to come up with anything where I could post the videos on HS. IF anyone has any helpful ideas, I would most appreciate it!
