I used the overhang on both the inside and outside of the longeron for
maximum sealing and reduction of canopy distortion. Notice I indication
reduction of canopy distortion.
With the canopy struts attached, there is distortion of the front sides of
the canopy inward when it is opened. No distortion when the struts are
removed. With the struts attached, the canopy is flexed inward about 1/8"
and the outer overhang wants to hit the top of the longeron upon closing.

Subject: [LML] 320/360 forward hinged
canopy seal
I am in the process of revising
and finally finishing my 320/360 forward hinged canopy. I am interested
in what type seal works best, lasts the longest, etc. Do you have a
glass lip on the canopy that extends down over both sides of the longerons, or
just the inside or just the outside?
