1st attempt at the canopy frame..  Still not happy with the way it's looking :(
Plan is to build the basic shape from MDF, with a steel structure around the pivot, then build the shape with fibreglass, and finally add the plexi canopy over the top.  Simple huh?!
 
 
Before
After
No frame, looks like heaps of space and visability...... first part of the frame in place you can see how cramped the A-4 is really going to be!
Right side.. ...must tidy up the workbench in the background!
Absolute state of the art processing power for my cockpit displays here....
Early 90's vintage Sanyo MBC675 luggable PC's... but they do have rather nice little greenscreen displays ;-)
