The two stiffeners, one on each side, fit out board to the
outside skin line as shown. This will require removing a portion of
the canopy frame as indicated on the sketch. There should be an

top of the longeron, to allow the future insertion of a flexible seal
to minimize air leaks. Each stiffener runs from the aft edge of the
canopy forward as far as practical.
