February 2022 -
I was always looking forward to surveying the cockpit, as I was aware that the current drawings for this show the cockpit tube diameter at the smaller original OD of 5.75", instead of the now established 6.0".
As such, I was also keen to check the cockpit cone angles and define the size and position of the window openings, capturing the wonkiness which is not immediately apparent.
There is a slight sagging of the cone from front to back which I didn't bother to capture. I suspect, as suggested to me by a veteran 5 foot builder, that the trimming of the window holes has caused the styrene to relax.
