KR> Canopy

2012-07-23 Thread Dave_A
My canopy is held on by a full-length hinge on the right (copilot) side, and a pair of marine-style hatch-fasteners on the left. The gas-strut thing never occurred to me - right now the 'canopy support' 2 pieces of aluminum angle, bolted together in the middle by a single bolt so that when 'rel

How does one approach removing damaged or mis-shaped fiberglass sections. I know how I would do it on a boat but boats don't have ribs and spars. For instance, how would you remove the entire top surface of a stub wing to install an aluminum tank and beef up the top surface for a wing walk ar

How would one make a wing walk area anyway? I have to rework some of the glass on mine and the wife doesn't think much of the "leg over the side" method so I think I want to do the same. Is there a write up on this somewhere in one of the newsletters or something? I've been perusing the bui
