Can someone help me with the attachment point in the aft cockpit?

In all my references the wire goes from the tail, round the roller on top the canopy, and doubles back inside but I don't have anything showing me where or to which side of the canopy slider it finally ends up.

ANY help would be much appreciated.

Hi

Well, I would like to help you, but I do not understand what you are after?!

The antenna wire runs through the canopy and then backwards down through the mount of the back armour and the cover into the fuselage to a roll where it is rolled up (pretty much like a safety belt in the car) so the wire is always straight.

all the best

...down through the mount of the back armour and the cover...



Yea that's what I was asking.....

So I should have cut a slit through that mount for the wire to pass through. Too late now that canopy is all assembled. I had thought the wire came through the top and then came backwards to the side of that center bar....

Thanks though.
