Hi Jim, After following Caleb's instructions to fit hoop to canopy and breaking hoop in two with using only hands I took the hoop that came with fuselage kit for the 601 canopy and just got help forcing canopy down until it fit the hoop. Since cutting in two it is no longer an issue to put on. The canopy is much more flexible than the aluminum. It does take a memory after two years in storage in garage rolled up. My near finished canopy does not fit as plans show but I believe it is acceptable.
Hi Jim, I am on your builders log site getting great inspiration! Where did you mount your electric fuel pump. Can't find it in the pictures. Thanks! Joe in Oshkosh
