Unfortunately I cannot speak to the technical questions that have been
raised, and are pretty good actually. However, I can attest that it works
great and I haven't had any issues. My thought process was to give it a
try, the price is negligible and I figured if it worked great, if not then
you can't see it under the fabric on the cabin roof anyway so no real loss.

Marcus,
based on what I know and what was also mentioned before the com antenna
needs to be as much vertical as possible. So how does your installation on
the cabin ceiling work then?

| Subject: | Report on cabin cover and rear window install |
The windows are in and the cabin cover is installed !
Last week I asked some questions about installing the rear windows
before installing the cabin cover. After the research was done I
decided that installing the windows with the cabin cover off the
fuselage was the way I would do it. I also built a custom overhead
console into the canopy to bring fresh air in from overhead along with
some map lighting. My design for the overhead console include no
access cover for the door hinges as well as complete integration of the
center window strut mounting point. So some important questions had to
be answered about this construction technique. Well I am now happy to
say that I can answer them.
1) Yes you can bed the nuts and washers for the door hinges in an
epoxy/structural filler mix so that the hinges can be mounted blindly.
But make sure that you back the screws out shortly after the epoxy cures
to ensure you haven't got any epoxy on the screw threads.
2) Yes you can mount the front window strut to the canopy cover and mold
it into an overhead console before installing the canopy cover
permanently, however you must measure carefully to ensure it is at the
proper angle, otherwise it wont go together.
3) In my opinion, putting the windows in with the cabin cover off the
fuselage is the way to go. I was able to rotate the cover so gravity
did most of the work holding the window in. Additionally, the dripping
of weld-on on the inside went straight to the floor and not all over the
inside of the window.
4) When putting the cabin cover on I used some wood blocks of various
thicknesses sitting of the door sills to progressively low the canopy
into place, this allowed me to finesse the front strut into the fuselage
mounting hole. This worked like a charm. It also allowed me to put
down epoxy/flox mix on the door sill and tank sealant on the rear rivet
line with the canopy just 3/4" about its final resting spot, this made
handling and fitting a non-event.
So here's a link to my web album showing the progress. The last 20 or
so pictures shows the details.

| Subject: | W-1013A aileron hinge brackets warped |
I started work on the rear wing spars today and noticed that the w-1013a
aileron hinge brackets are warped. With them lying flat on the table
there's 1/16-3/32" gap in the center off the table on all 4 of them.
Has anybody else run into this problem. Looks like it might have
happened when they were "stamped" out. Obviously I'll wait 'til monday
and see what Vans has to say but does anybody else have any thoughts on
this. Surely it's not wise to use them like this, or is it???
Anyhow, pictures are attached.
Thanks in advance,

I would say, treat it as the horizontal tabs that stick up from the
tailcone, beat on them in a vice with a rubber mallet to straighten
them.

I vaguely remember the same issue (I'm kit #40176), I reasonably sure
I "flatened" them back out with a little vise and clamp action.

Yep, perfectly normal. Just flatten them back out. They'll straighten
when you rivet them to the other piece anyway.

I'm wearing out my #40 drill bits pretty quickly trying to drill the #40
holes between the skin and stainless counterbalance. Any hints as to what
type of drill bit I should get in order to knock this out quicker would be
great. Thanks.

Make sure you're drilling with enough pressure... especially through stainl
ess and steel....- going to slow will burn the drill up fast.- Put the
pedal to the metal!-
