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 stone RV-8 ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 09:37:00 AM PST US From: Matt Dralle Subject: RV8-List: Re: canopy fitting RV-8 At 08:11 AM 5/30/2013 Thursday, Christopher Cee Stone wrote: >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. =C2 I was considering doing the same since the canopy frame does not really fit under the skin. =C2 Further the fibre glass fabricated faring will cover this gap between canopy fairing and forward top skin. =C2 Am I missing something here? =C2 Has anyone else done this? > >chris stone >RV-8 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. - Matt Dralle RV-8 #82880 N998RV "Ruby Vixen" http://www.mattsrv8.com - Matt's Complete RV-8 Construction Log http://www.mattsrv8.com/Mishap - Landing Mishap Rebuild Log http://www.youtube.com/MattsRV8 - Matt's RV-8 HDTV YouTube Channel Status: 172+ Hours TTSN - Rebuilding Fuselage After Landing Mishap...

That's what I thought with the extra material on the forward skin... Unnecessary. chris On Thu, May 30, 2013 at 9:35 AM, Matt Dralle wrote: > At 08:11 AM 5/30/2013 Thursday, Christopher Cee Stone wrote: > >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. =C3 =82 I > was considering doing the same since the canopy frame does not really fit > under the skin. =C3=82 Further the fibre glass fabricated faring will cov er this > gap between canopy fairing and forward top skin. =C3=82 Am I missing some thing > here? =C3=82 Has anyone else done this? > > > >chris stone > >RV-8 > > > Chris, > > Yeah, no need to leave those flanges.
