Yep. I kept the big box to hide the pink cowl until I really need it.

Have fun with the next phase of construction. Be sure to lay out what and where you want things on the firewall. You want to make all those holes before you hang the engine. :) Any holes you have to make or change will result in :bang:

congrats! love getting more parts.

BTW keep that big box, it's the safest place to store the canopy when it's not on the airplane.

My canopy was in the box for several years even after it was cut and fitted. It is a very safe place and I found there were a lot of things to do after the canopy was cut anf fit and riveted the slider frame. It was also a place to safely store the wind screen until I was ready to install it permantly. I waited until my panel was all wired, engine hunge, etc. The boot cowl and wind screen were installed just before the fueslage went to the paint shop. Actually my wings were already back from the paint shop and I was working of the riveting of the boot cowl and fiber glass work to install the wind screen. The siaflex(Sp?) looks interesting
