How hot/cold is it where you are?

My D2cT canopy which fitted perfectly in the summer
is currently standing a little proud at the front and
back in the Scottish winter. The canopy will contract
lengthwise in the cold proportionately more along the
midline than at the lower canopy sides thus pulling
the front and rear canopy rails more vertical (as viewed
from the side) and raising them at the top. I expect
mine to be fine when the weather warms up.

I would simply stick an overlapping piece of mylar
on the canopy frame to smooth the gap meantime.

I'm not sure if my V2C canopy's final fit is correct,

can be adjusted.

The canopy frame sits very slightly higher than the
neighboring fuse
when closed and locked, by 1 - 1.5 mm. I don't know
whether this is
within factory tolerance, and if it's not, if there's
an adjustment for
it, such as a way to lower the locking pin receivers
on the fuselage.

Advance thanks
