Matt, thanks for the info, I ordered one today. I see from your photos you have
not attached the skirts yet. I just finished mine on my 8a. I made the mistake
of starting from the front and working to the rear. My advise is start fitting
the skirts from the rear and work forward. Has to be much easier and a better
fit. Best regards, Bill of Georgia?

Dear Listers,
During the fitting of the Plexiglass canopy on my RV-8, I managed to put some
pretty disheartening scratches in the windscreen section. You can see from the
pictures that they looked pretty bad. A call to Van's revealed that a
replacement canopy would be $640 + $250 shipping to California! Ack.
So what to do... A bit of surfing and I found this "Scratch Off" windshield
repair kit for $35 on the Aircraft Spruce web site:
http://www.aircraftspruce.com/catalog/cspages/scratchoff.php
Frankly, it just seemed too good to be true. Nothing for $35 could be that
"magic" I thought, but what did I have to lose at this point....
Well, the kit arrived yesterday and I decided to give it a try tonight. In a
word: WOW! In about 2 hours the windscreen looked as good as new - no kidding
-
AS GOOD AS NEW! The pictures really don't do the repair justice. It looks
better in person.
There are basically two sponges in the kit with four decreasingly porous pastes.
You just put some of the first paste on the sponge and buff it in with a drill
at 1200 RPM or less. Then you wash everything down good including the sponge
and windshield with warm water. Then you use the next finer paste and repeat
the process. Etc, etc, until you've used the 4th paste that is kind of like car
wax.
Frankly, the scratches were gone after the first application of paste - I
started at #2 based on the instructions and the "observed severity" of the
scratch depth.
So, the bottom line is, if you've got scuffs or mild scratches in your
Plexiglass buy this repair kit. It works!

We have tried Sensenich 60 inch ground adjustable with great results.
Tennessee props 64 x 36 with pretty good results and a Sensenich W64PJ-36
with great results. It is important with that aircraft to get a takeoff and
climbout rpm around 3000 rpm.

I have used the Novus products with very good results. Novus #3 for
heavy scratches and Novus #2 for light scratching. They are available
from ACS for $6 to $7 in 8 oz. bottles. You rub it in by hand with a
soft cloth. It works very well with little effort. Novus #1 is a
plastic cleaner.
