either I'm really fumble-fingered or the canopy/windscreen process is the toughest
part of the airframe. going into the 3rd week of 5-6 days/week trying to get
all the edges lined up.
last night reading ahead to take my mind off things in the section on the fiberglass
layup around the base of the windscreen a sentence jumps off the page at
me:"....where the plex lies under the skin". nowhere does my plex lay under
the skin, i have to really suck it in to get the bottom edge to the skin.
what am I missing?
in the meantime I will be out at the hangar shaping the bows attaching the canopy,
measuring, then doing it all over again.
John Kerr 800hrs and not making much progress right now.

I have a Sensenich metal prop and an 0-320. I came in right in the
middle of the range and can't load it out of CG range with any
normal loads. I can load to over gross and it's still in the range.

Hey Steve, how's it going?
My RV-9A weighs 1104 lbs., a little on the heavy side from what I hear with
the CG at 79.09". Most forward is at 1470 lbs and 80.14" (150 lb pilot, full
fuel, no baggage) while most aft is 1654 lbs and 84.75" (pilot & passenger
at 220 ea, 5 gal gas and 80 lb baggage.)
A few months ago on this or the RV-List, somebody was asking for W&B data on
the 9's that were flying. Anybody remember that?

Another thing to look out for is the alignment of the square tubes at the
bottom of the canopy frame compared the fuse sides. This is a key point:
the sides of those square tubes should be vertical (like the fuse sides) but
inset about 1/16". Later on when you are fitting the side skirts, this keeps
you from having a wrinkle in the bottom skirts. (See page 9-9 bottom, DWG
43 Section F-F).
The windscreen sets on top of the skin and is held in place by small metal
clips that are later buried in the fillet that matches the windscreen to the
fuse.

That might have been me. I was trying to compare avg Lycoming weights with
Subaru weights. Here's the Lycoming info. It didn't format well coming out
of an excel spreadsheet, but if you are interested the numbers are
decipherable. Roger E.
