JC,
My O-320 is a stock D1A which is 160HP with 8.5:1 pistons. Nothing fancy
except for ignition. I'm running one Slick impulse mag on the left side and
a lighspeed electronic on the right side.

| Subject: | Suggestion for drilling the hinge points in the tip-up canopy |
frame.
--> RV9-List message posted by: "Matthew Brandes" <matthew@n523rv.com>
Take it for what it's worth.. but here is what I did to drill the hinge
point hole in the WD-716 TIP-UP canopy frame.
So you've done all the drilling of the plastic hinge blocks and have them in
position. You have the tip-up frame in place with the C-702 skin cleco'd
on. Now the instructions tell you to drill a 1/4" hole in the hinge point
using the 1/4" hole in the blocks as a guide.. and to only drill enough to
get the hole started... AND to use an angle drill to do it since you have
limited access. Well.. I didn't have a threaded 1/4" bit to use with my
angle drill and I didn't want to stick a normal bit in there and just mark
it as that would leave room for error, so I had to get creative. What
resulted is what I _think_ is a better way of drilling these holes.
I bought a piece of 1/4" OD 4130 steel tube from the local airparts store
with a wall thickness of .049. I then enlarged the ID hole to #19. I cut a
~1" piece off and then inserted that piece into the 1/4" hole already in the
plastic block. Then I used my threaded #19 drill bit in the angle drill to
drill a pilot hole. I did this to both sides then pulled the frame off and
enlarged the holes to the correct size. (If you have a 3" bit, I would go
ahead and drill all the way through, I can't see a reason not too. My short
1" bit wasn't getting the shavings out, so I only went deep enough to get a
good start on the hole.)
Using the short piece of pipe gives you a very accurate positioning of the
drill bit without a chance of enlarging the hole in the plastic blocks. It
also takes away any possible error if you had just marked the hole and
drilled.
Again, take it FWIW.
