Scott et al,
I live in the north in Wisconsin (temporarily in Florida at Spruce Creek
Airpark near Daytona) . Nine years ago when I finished my RV8 I noticed
that cold air and water entered at the rear of the canopy and moved
forward. I also noticed that air exited on both sides of the canopy
approximately at the point where the pilots shoulders is. I was able to
fix this by installing a "bead type" weatherstrip (it looks like a 3/8"
vinyl tube with a tab on it for attachment) Glue this on to the rear
portion of the canopy from the pilot shoulder all of the way around the
rear of the canopy. There are several types of this insulation aand you
may have to go to several hardware stores to find the type that suits
your reqquirement (don't waste your time at Home Depot etc). If you
live in the south and can't find it, I own a hardware store in wisconsin
and can supply it. If you want to discuss this, call me at 920 619 6968
in Florida for the winter EST.

Hello=2C
My ascendancy is proving harder than I thought. Anyway=2C I am at the 27 ho
ur mark and I am removing the straight mineral oil from my Aerosport 180 an
d wish to know if I can punt on replacing the oil filter til the next oil c
hange?
I bought the special quick drain valves and after spilling oil all over the
place am glad I did. The next oil change should be a lot less messy.
I am slowly starting to trust the RV-8. My landings are getting better and
I am less terrified on final. In a curious way=2C the responsiveness breed
s confidence. I will post more on the 'real' feelings at this point in my R
V- 8 odyssey in another post.
Regards=2C
