From: japhillipsga@aol.com 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? -----Original Message----- From: Matt Dralle Sent: Fri, 21 Nov 2008 12:22 am Subject: Zenith-List: Plexiglass Scratch Repair... 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!

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.
