Subject: | RV-8 Canopy, SikaFlex |
Hi Charlie et al-
I'm not sure of what became of the RV Wiki, but I'd posted fairly
comprehensive info on the canopy gluing process. If that's unavailable for
ant reason, I might be able to find the original info for anyone who might
be interested-

I used Sikaflex 295UV plus activator plus primer. Purchased from Jamestown D
istributers. Great stuff, but be sure to follow the process. There are vid
eos on Jamestown's web site.

I see from Matt's log photos that you cut the forward top skin back to
flush with the support brackets that attach to the windshield frame. I was
considering doing the same since the canopy frame does not really fit under
the skin. Further the fibre glass fabricated faring will cover this gap
between canopy fairing and forward top skin. Am I missing something here?
Has anyone else done this?

Chris,
Yeah, no need to leave those flanges. They just interfere with the skirts.
The bezel over the top of the windscreen/rollbar cover the union between
the front and the back. Here are some pictures of how I made my rear
windscreen bezel and they also detail the area you're talking about.

Fellow RVers,
My wife and I are planning a 4000nm trip in the RV7A leaving mid June. We live
in Saskatchewan and will be heading east across Canada then south to NYC and Washington,
DC. The tentative route will take us to Winnipeg, Thunder Bay, Timmins,
Quebec City, Charlottetown, Bangor, Brunswick, Danbury, Gettysburg, Leesburg,
Dayton, Dubuque, Bemidji, Winnipeg and home.
My wife is looking forward to the LL Bean flagship store in Freeport, Maine and
the Jinny Beyer Quilt Studio in Virginia. Im looking forward to the VFR corridor
down the Hudson River past Manhattan then to Gettysburg. We are both looking
forward to PEI, Gettysburg history and Washington.
My questions: What is the best airport to stop at in the Gettysburg area? Are there
any secrets to flying the VFR corridor by NYC that are not on the NYC Terminal
chart?
Any secrets in and around Leesburg other than what is in the on-line DC Special
Flight Rules Area course?
What is the best place to stop in the Dayton area? How about smaller airport in
the Midwest: Dubuque, Madison, Rockford, Davenport areas?
Any other suggestions about taking a long trip or along the route are welcome.
Thanks
David Lamb
