Joe, when you do the slider version you put quite a lot of paste
tapering to almost nothing. I haven't heard of it peeling off and
certainly don't see any problem on mine. For sure you need to rough up
the surface of the aluminum but you should be OK with just epoxy filler
like West System 410 microflight or similar.
Aircraft Spruce has lots of choices here

Guys,
My RV-9A has a tip-up canopy. The forward fuselage skin is a tad low in
some areas as it relates to the canopy skin. I want to match the skins
by building up with a micro micro slurry then sand to match.
I'm concerned the micro might chip or separate from the aluminum in the
future. My plan is to rough up and clean the forward canopy skin, lay
down a layer(s) of fiberglass cloth, add peel ply and let it cure.
After removing the peel-ply I'd add the epoxy/micro mixture, let it
cure, then sand to match.
Will the cloth bond the micro to the skin and keep it from chipping
away? The buildup in some areas could be a 1/16" or just a tad more.

Someone once told me that to take some of the low area under the canopy slider
skirt, you might be able to drill out some rivets and put some spacers/longer
rivets in. Perhaps that might take some of it out.

Dear Listers,
I would like to get some dual time in in an RV-8 over the next few months. Is
there anyone on the List kind of near the Livermore California airport with an
RV-8 (taildragger) that has dual controls including rudder peddles and preferably
a CS prop? With my RV-8 test flight quickly approaching, I would like to
get 5-10 hours in an RV-8 before I go to get insurance and go for that first
flight. I'm current, have over 100 hours in tailwheels, and carry aircraft renters
insurance.
I would reimburse for gas and lunches! :-)

You have a very hard time finding an RV-8 with rear seat brake pedals,
I can't imagine anyone who would sit in back while you flew from the
front without brakes back there. If you tried to fly from the back,
you'd find the view ahead fairly poor, plus likely have a poor view of
the ASI. And no brake pedals.
I think an RV-6 or RV-7 is a much better aircraft for this training.
Both seats have brakes (if the builder did the right seat brake
option), and the view ahead and of the instrument panel is good from
the right seat. The -6 and -7 handle quite similarly to an RV-8, so
the training is very relevant. The longitudinal stick forces on the
-6 or -7 will be somewhere between those of the RV-8 solo and the RV-8
with a pax. As a prospective -8 pilot, you would probably want to be
in the right seat of the -6 or -7, to put the stick in the right hand,
and the throttle in the left.
Fly safe,

Matt-
You are always welcome to fly with me in the side-by-side nose dragger if
you strike out on the 8 tw. I have full controls both sides.

Exactly what I did in an RV-6. The insurance company (Nation Air) was happy
with time in any RV.
