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.

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 Vince H.
