| Subject: | Re: RV-4 Canopy Replacement |
I replaced my original Van's canopy (it cracked one cold morning pulling
out of a loop. Scared the poop out of me as I thought the wing spar broke
from the "pop" it made) with a Todd's canopy. Slightly thicker and about 1.5"
taller. Strangely, it had an imperceptible difference in the curvature
because I found I was now not getting a reflection off my instruments during
night flying. Anyway, I used only lightly torqued screws with nylock nuts. If
I had to do the entire canopy system over I would use only those new
adhesives and no "drilled" fasteners at all.
