Yes, that's a simple "y"
driven from behind the cockpit with a servo. The "y"
is made from three clevis
rods silver soldered with nylon ball
link cups threaded onto the ends. The one to the rear attaches
to the
servo. The other two nylon cups attach to ball links per
illustration. The channel mounts facing outward
parallel to
the cockpit edge. The channel is "flush" with the
surface of the fuselage with a nylon block
running within the
channel.
You can be as inventive as you want
here. You can attach the canopy to the nylon block with what
ever
you decide works best for you. Remember the air will be
buffeting the canopy so you might want to
laminate the inside
edge of the canopy with oak or maple veneer to distribute the
stress.
Use what ever you can find to simulate this set up with the
parts you have. DO NOT USE ferrous
metal
parts against ferrous metal parts as this will create
electronic noise (emi).
