Rob Ray,

Please send pic.

I would like to say thanks to you and the guys in your squadron. I don` t
like those people in the sand and know they don`t like us but I guess
there`s a job to be done over there and hopefully our country will benefit.
Just wanted to say I`m appreciative of the sacrifices you men are making
over there. I bought my second airplane from a state trooper who went over
there in desert storm days and he mentioned what those people are like and
how they regard us as pigs.

Greg Milner

> Hi Greg, I drilled a hole in the left side of my roll bar and through my
canopy skirt at a point with the canopy 5 inches above the canopy rail. I
also riveted a doubler plate of .020 around the hole in the skirt.  I put a
nautilus weight pin through the roll bar with a cotter key and washer in the
other end so it can slide in and out through the hole in the skirt.
> It holds my canopy open very well and the support at mid point is much
stronger than other methods I have seen.  I can send you a picture if you
need one...
