| Subject: | canopy fitting RV-8 |
I see from Matt's log photos that you cut the forward top skin back to
flush with the support brackets that attach to the windshield frame. I was
considering doing the same since the canopy frame does not really fit under
the skin. Further the fibre glass fabricated faring will cover this gap
between canopy fairing and forward top skin. Am I missing something here?
Has anyone else done this?

Chris,
Yeah, no need to leave those flanges. They just interfere with the skirts.
The bezel over the top of the windscreen/rollbar cover the union between
the front and the back. Here are some pictures of how I made my rear
windscreen bezel and they also detail the area you're talking about.

Great photos! That's what I thought with the extra material on the forward
skin... Unnecessary.
