Subject: Re: RV4-List: 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.
