May 26th 1998 Bob Chesley posted an item re a 3" x 1" angle he had used to
to mount the hinges for the forward opening canopy.

I have the same layout as Bob,  without the header tank.  If Bob is still in
touch on the mail list I wonder if I could prevail upon him to give us a
sketch of the attachment method to the longeron as well as the bracketry for
the gas strut mounting points.

I have another sketch of the hinge points mounted on phenolic pads glassed
to the side of the fuselage.  This was in a post dated June 30th 1998 from
Pete Cavitt and was a sketch of the installation done by Jim Frantz I
believe.  Pete mentioned that he would be glad to share more information
with anyone who wanted it.  Can I take you up on this please Pete or is it
too late?

Kind regards

Ian Crowe.
