I have the fiberglass canopy on my Stinger 50.
When the lever swings all the way up, it pushes on the canopy.
I have to small dimples in the fiberglass where it is hitting.

Any one else have this problem.

thanks

I have had this issue on a raptor and it turned out to be in the head setup.
I had to shorten all of the links in the head and lengthen the link on the servo to make the front of the pitch arm no go up as high, I was still able to get full pitch range.

The other thing that you can check/do is the lower canopy mount.
If the clip is to far forward on the canopy it will lower the top of the canopy.
You can "stretch" the holes a little to move the clip back and see if this will get you enough clearance. You can check this by just pulling the canopy clip off slightly to see if it will get you enough clearance.

You can also take one frame spacer cut it in half or thirds depending on how high you want it and use it as a spacer with two extra screws. I used my old dampers, and longer screws. It made a dampened canopy mount and gave the pitch arm more clearance. hope this helps ya.
