Gerald,
There is no one uniform thickness dimension. The thickness dimension
varies with the amount of stretch in the area you choose to measure. The
Canopies Vans sends out are blown from .187" sheet. Their thickness will
vary between .187" and .100" Unfortunately the maximum stretch and
therefore the .100" thickness occurs at the center where you cut the
windshield from the canopy.
Todd's .250" Canopies have the same stretching and therefore thinning,
but they start from .250" instead of .187" and so are significantly thicker.

I have one of Todd's .25 inch canopies and the thinnest portion is the top
which was correctly stated earlier as .133"

I am about a year and a half from requiring, but would also be interested in a
thicker canopy. Any word on noise reduction?

> Hi All fellow listers,
>
> Today at about 12:30pm My Tech Counc. Fred LaForge took to the sky with my
RV-8, injected 180/CS . I flew chase with Gary Hart in his RV-6. As far as I
could tell it all went really well. We ate lunch after he landed, and then
my mom gave me the OK so I was out of there. Full throttle looked down to
check oil pressure and it was too late, already airborne and clmbing like
crazy. Fred followed in his RV-4 with RV-7 builder Robert Paisley. we took a
long hot flight out to the practice area and after some slow flight and
quick manuevers we came back to Cable and landed. It was my first hour and
it was too short but the OAT at 7,000' was over 100 and we had to get back.
> So here are all those answers to the questions I had about first flights.
Takeoff roll-no idea, but short. Rate of climb 110kts 1680'/min. Cruise at
6500' no gear fairings 125-130kts at 24/2400. All my temps were good the
hottest cylinder was #3 at 405 during climb and then 385 level. Coolest was
#1 335. Oil temp was 210-212 in the desert and 204 climbing out in the city.
I have a firewall mounted 7 row S/W oil cooler and an aluminum plenum. The
GPS showed a continous 150-155kts but I was told that if I wanted to fly to
OSH with the group I'd have to put the fairings on and speed it up.
> I can't thank the lists and the people at CCB enough for making all this
possible, without all this good advise and talented help I would still be
working on the tail kit.

Listers,
I will probably be heading down to Green Bay, WI for a several day
visit sometime in the next couple of weeks. I may have some time to
kill, so I would be interested in meeting any local RVers.
Mark Nielsen and Dick Martin - are you guys still on these lists?
Any interested parties, please contact me off-list. khorto1537@rogers.com
