Nice one Don, and I've learned something. Didn't know the canopy roof was side hinged, always assumed it was rear hinged, like the 'J' model.

G model on (late F models) had the hinged back. I could not find anything that gave a tail number so I went with the side hinge.

And thank you.

I enjoy watching you build a beautiful plane and then "war-weary" it up.
