 I had a crack develop in my canopy bubble. the first two times I tried to stop
drill it, the pressure just made the crack run on further.? In the third try,
I finally stopped it.? My EAA tech rep said the way to do it is to stop drill
the just BEYOND the end of the crack.? That way, you KNOW it won't run on. (20-20
hindsight).? 

Because of the location, I was able to replace my crack with a VistaVent.

I have a small crack in my canopy on my 601xl under the side
flashing. Any suggestions on how to prevent it from spreading such as adhesives
and or drilling the end of the crack. Thanks.
