Milestone reached with the canopy plexiglass bonded into the frame. Clamped and strapped.
Sikaflex 295 UV is used to set it in position after prep with Primer 209. Same set up that the warbird guys use.
Windshield also installed. A larger than standard windshield strap was produced to ensure a better seal for the sliding canopy to the fixed windshield. Previously the canopy butts to the windshield but the pressure creates a gap that results in significant air noise and rain ingress. The new strap allows the canopy to slide in under it and under the airstream.
