| Subject: | Whistling Canopy |
The canopy on my CJ makes a whistling sound that is so loud ATC had a hard time
listening at times (keying the mike and if the volume is up too loud, it is a
bit deafening). Thought it might be the canopy bow seals that had a gap in them.
They have been replaced with no improvement. I can stop the whistling sound
by opening the front canopy to the second stop. Any ideas?

Craig,
That's going to be a tough one to isolate. It's probably going to be a
very small opening that is not obvious. So try starting with the front
window. Put duct tape around the front window frame where the frame
meets the Plexiglas. Also tape up the vent inlet at the bottom front.
Then go fly. If that doesn't do it, then move to the next section; the
front slider. With you in the front seat, have someone tape the canopy
bow around the seal and at the rear of the slider where it overlaps the
center section. Then go fly. Continue the process moving back to the
next section if you haven't located it yet.

Is it whistling Dixie?
Though this has never happened to me before, I believe I would try the fol
lowing. Before getting airborne try tapeing the edges of the canopy on th
e inside with wide masking tape. Make sure you do that area above and beh
ind your head. In effect this is sealing the canopy. Now at your normal
cruse speeds, try removing the tape one section at a time. Maybe this ca
n give you an idea of exactly where the noise is being created. Many of
us old 707/747 guys are usually hard of hearing because of the small soni
c shock wave that usually hung out near the cockpit side window. At least
that is what we were told. I DO NOT think that your problem but air does
strange things around the cockpit.

I had this exact same problem with my -52 years ago. The problem is caused
by having just the right amount of gap between the leather seal and the
sliding section of canopy.
Fixed it by add 3/4" by 1/4" high density weather stripping in two layers to
the existing seal. Works great. No more whistle or cold air.

Yeeek! HOWEVER! How many times have we seen a really nice neat shop, (cl

most accommodating and right on the money when it came to diagnosing my
engine problem, was some south Georgia kid in a T shirt, beat-up jeans,
who was working on a crop duster, that looked like it had been ridden har

I've always found manufacturing (assembly lines and such) very interesting

Yea right, that's exactly where it started in the good ol USA.- First cle
an up the chips, then fire extinguishers and checked every year, grease rec
overy, paint recovery, oil recovery, tire recycling, eye wash stations, fir
st aid, wheel chair ramps, safety glasses. I was in the automotive/motorcyc
le business, it was endless, OSHA to the rescue.-
Each and every cost passed on to the consumer, prices went up, stress went
up, everything went up.- Then just as now manufactures started falling, T
riumph (the biggest motorcycle manufacturer in the world in 1970), BSA, Nor
ton, Husqvarna, etc.- It was the Japanese then and now the Chinese, and i
ts our own fault. Just how damn safe do we have to be anyway?- When will
you say stop?- When they tell you flying is too dangerous for you and peo
ple on the ground? They have already done that to some extent, and to us, n
o flying over congested areas, no flying into Class B.-
So it all starts with someone with some suggestion to make YOUR life safer.
- Isn't that really your decision to make?
Just my opinion, have a nice day.

Yeeek!- HOWEVER!- How many times have we seen a really nice neat shop,
(clean floors, nice neat tool boxes, neatly dress mechanics, accommodating
staff etc) be really lousy when it came to fixing your airplane?- For me
the most accommodating and right on the money when it came to diagnosing my
engine problem, was some south Georgia kid in a T shirt, beat-up jeans, wh
o was working on a crop duster, that looked like-it had been ridden hard
and put away wet.

I've always found manufacturing (assembly lines and such) very interesting.
- None are ever laid out the way you think factory should be.- There ap
pears to be no order to them at all.- The only place that seem to have an
y order at all is the final assembly line and even than it can get confused
.

My advice to this Chinese factory boss, owner, whatever, is to at least cle
an up the chips and stuff off the floor.- (I bet there no recycling progr
am or EPA inspectors around).- I think these plugs may be good enough for
my mower though.
