Hi Matthew,
It's a slider. I did not build it, so can't comment on that much....but I
can say that every minute spent installing nutplates saves maintenance hours
later.
There are WAAAY too many philips head screws to remove at annual!
apparently the slider is a bear to fit, and cutting the canopy can give some
problems.
You really have to fly or at least ride in as many RV;s as you can, and take
lots of photos and notes.
For instance,
- gee, that guy has his GPS way over there, out of reach, and the glare
makes it unreadable.
- if that silly glove box weren't there, you could put another MFD for the
co-pilot, or a nice digital radio/audio panel.
- where the heck do you put your water bottle for long cross countries?
- I'd like to put a bike in the back...is a tip-up really better?
etc.
will try to dig up some pics if that helps.
