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 stone RV-8 ________________________________ Message 4 _____________________________________ Time: 09:38:00 AM PST US From: Matt Dralle Subject: RV-List: Re: canopy fitting RV-8 At 08:11 AM 5/30/2013 Thursday, Christopher Cee Stone wrote: >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. =C2 I was considering doing the same since the canopy frame does not really fit under the skin. =C2 Further the fibre glass fabricated faring will cover this gap between canopy fairing and forward top skin. =C2 Am I missing something here? =C2 Has anyone else done this? > >chris stone >RV-8 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. - Matt Dralle RV-8 #82880 N998RV "Ruby Vixen" http://www.mattsrv8.com - Matt's Complete RV-8 Construction Log http://www.mattsrv8.com/Mishap - Landing Mishap Rebuild Log http://www.youtube.com/MattsRV8 - Matt's RV-8 HDTV YouTube Channel Status: 172+ Hours TTSN - Rebuilding Fuselage After Landing Mishap...

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.
