Hi:
I have decided to re work my canopy, that is to remove the canopy and get a new
canopy frame.
It never fit in a manner I would like.. soooo does any one have a
canopy frame for sale? or perhaps and old canopy, not being used ..
Trying to save some money...I know the work would be a pain....I even
try to talk to some people, south in Florida, i got the names from some
\one on the list... They did not know any thing on how to to do this,
or they did not want to do it, this guy tells me reluctanly,, well
if we do it would be about $1,200, exactly what he said...they are a
joke.. I understand, if some one does not want to do the jobe, that is
fine, just say so..or sorry we do not do that type of work etc...
That is the situation now..
any suggestions, ideas, appreciated
I have the Rv6a..
robert

Robert,
like many of the early QB RV-6's, the fit of my canopy was appauling.
Particularly at its leading edge. Being disinclined to re-do any of that
canopy work, I instead eventually 'fixed' the problem by laying up micro
over the front turtledeck and on the front deck of the canopy frame. Then
just sand down until it looks like it fits better, and paint. added a
couple of pounds, but turned out OK and at least I didn't have to re-do the
canopy (and potentially get the same problem all over again.

I had` the same problem with the frame on my QB6. I did some "forming" and fiberglass
buildup for the rest of the fit. It was a lot of extra work for a poor
fitting frame. Never could get the rear skirt to fit nice and tight. I suspect
Van's would have fired the welding shop for this frame if they had to use
it on one of their planes. ??
