Anyone have any experience with the larger prop for performance/economy on the 7?

Mine was light in my opinion. It was easily seen through but it was there. I soaked a cloth in kerosene and laid that on the area for a few hours and then used my finger nail and a plastic scraper and was able to carefully and gentlely remove all of it without damage to the canopy. I had another area on my canopy that I purposely lightly sanded and thoroughly painted. Later I needed to remove that paint. I used the sanding, and polishing system sold by ACS. It was a lot of work but it did the job. I can see a bit of distortion in looking through the glass now that it is all done. {Friends are like angels who lift us to our feet when our wings have trouble remembering how to fly....unknown} Indiana Larry, RV7 Tip Up ----- Original Message ----- From: "WILLIAM KELLY" Subject: Re: RV7-List: Paint overspray removal > --> RV7-List message posted by: "WILLIAM KELLY" > > >> I recently spray painted part of my aircraft with an oil based paint. >> After I removed the masking, I noticed that there was some paint >> overspray on one of the Lexan windows. >> Does anyone know how to remove an oil based paint from Lexan? > > Hi, > > I've been a silent reader of this site for some time.
