We are in the process of testing a new email notification system. Our forum email service has been down for some time. This system allows you to send messages to other forum members, sends an email when a post you're following changes, and other notices that are sent via email. Hopefully this new system will continue to work properly. So if you're interested in a particular post, you can now follow it and be notified when it changes or a new message is posted. That's rather nice, instead of having to check every few days to see if something new has been added. There is also another upgrade to the forum version. Only minor changes, but it's always best to get these changes made. We'll get to that as soon as possible. You can hide this announcement now that you've read it by clicking on the little "X" in the upper right corner of the announcement window. Thanks for being a member. We appreciate your participation.

Windscreen Mounting (with "trailing edge" stock)

Post by ksatter26 »

OK ... here's the way I interpret we go about mounting the forward section of the windscreen using the sections of "trailing edge" stock that Chris provides:

(1) I prepared both over0sized lengths of the stock by removing the external and internal plastic protective layers, then cleaned any residual adhesive by wiping down with acetone.

(2) I roughed the surfaces with scotch-brite and again wiped down the surfaces with acetone before applying a spray-can coat of automotive primer followed by a coat of my white enamel.

(3) As a test I then slipped lengths of rubber u-channel over the open ends of the stock and slid one end of the polycarbonate screen into the material. The fit looks good so I think I will go with this configuration.

(4) I should be able to rivet the stock to the frame using the tabs Chris has provided.

I will probably hold off on this until I receive my 30mm propeller extension so that I can better fit the cowling. I can then use the cowling/windscreen mating area to obtain a better fit.
