| Subject: | Sikaflex Canopy Info |
This is the slider that I know of
http://www.skypassion.com/web-content/FUSELAGE/Project.html .
You can find him also via Vans website - Links- RV7 - Paul Paeleman,
Belgium.
I myself am preparing also my sliding canopy for this application; the most
critical part until now is to have a good ( perfect ?) fit of the plexi
around the forward and rear bow.

Hi
I am also working on my canopy and would like the use Sika. Has anyone out
their done it on an RV 7 or RV 9 slider using the horizontal square side
tube that runs from the forward bow the rear bow? If so out did you attach
the canopy skirt with out drilling? Any help is really appreciated. I have
printed all the articles, instruction and list information, but I mostly
find RV 8 instructions. I could really use some help on how to do it on a
RV 7 Slider.
Thanks CJ

Dear Builders, I'm going to use Sika adhesive to attach my canopy. Todd's
canopy's has a couple page DIY instructions from Bob & Karen Brown that
describes the U295, cleaner and primer process. When I found the Sika
products on the web there are various cleaners and primers listed and the
only 295 is listed as 295UV not U295. I understand you have to have the
correct three products. Who out there knows is 295UV the same as U295 ? and
which primer and cleaner is appropriate for the canopy and 295 adhesive? I
appreciate any help, thanks, Bill of Georgia

I had serious CHT problems in my F1 especially climbing on hot days or fully loaded..
Glassed the louvers in the lower cowl.

Amazing difference in CHTs after. Did not see any change in speed or performance.

Hi Jef,
I have a "9-A" and used the Sikaflex system to attach the canopy
to my a/c. The rear canopy has the sikaflex on all attachment areas
except along the horiz square tube for the skirt. The front bow and the
center support that runs from the front bow to the rear bow and the rear
bow are all bonded to the frame. I chose to drill the skirts and use
bolts there. There is one issue that must be considered when using the
sikaflex system. The canopy will be spaced upward from the normal
position. If you have cut the canopy to fit before you take this into
consideration, your aluminum skirts will be to short. Ask me how I know.
I did a fiberglass rear skirt in place of the aluminum one from Van's.
It sure makes a snug leakproof (?) fit. The same issue goes for the
front wind screen. So take that into consideration when trimming the
bottom of each plexiglass part. You can see my project on the sikaflex
canopy at www.websites.expercraft.com/jimn . It took around a month or
so to do the sikaflex attachment. Doing the regular attachment via Van's
directions is much faster.
Jim

John,
I had another thought. We sell .085" diameter pins. You might try some of
this material. These are smaller than the standard aluminum hinge pins and
might go to place easily for you. If the hinge loosens up over time, you
might be able to go back to the original.

try this:
1) go to http://forums.matronics.com

Then you can see what everyone is talking about. I checked mine - not much info

Aluminum hinge eyes can be easily bent back into alignment- if the pin
easily slides through both halves of the cowling individually, then what
you have is something preventing the eyes from each hinge half from
aligning. Carefully look for anything between each eye that may prevent
this- one telltale is a dark spot where the opposite hinge half is
rubbing on the other part.

Hi Jim,
This looks great; I was contemplating a1/2" aluminum angel where you have
the triangle fillet set back far enough to allow for 1/8" of Sika Flex. Do
you think this is a good idea or overkill? Have you glued on your
windscreen? Are you happy with the way it all worked out? I was really was
surprised with gluing your skirt down in the back, Does it look like it is
strong enough? Sorry for all the questions, but I'm just trying to learn
from your experience and I do worry about part flying off at 200mph. Thanks
for the help. Carl

Carl,
The sika flex is strong stuff. I did bolt the sides of the
canopy to the square rail. Maybe I was a bit chicken. But I used about
3/8" gap for the adhesive. You need space to allow for the expansion of
the plexi in the heat. The gap on the back is much less around 1/4" or
so. The windshield was no problem. Just remember that you need to cut
the bottom of the plexi after you space the canopy upward to allow for
the glue spacing. I had to remake the side skirts because I forgot about
that. THe fiberglass that you put around the bottomof the windshield
keep things in place. Plus you put the fiberglass "ring" around the top
to cover the gap between the rear and front canopy. I think it will be
there for a long.time. Fun priject that added about 6 weeks total to the
job. But then I have only a few bolt holes on the square tube.
Jim
