I've been working on our canopy and overhead console and now have it ready for final installation on the fuselage. Looking ahead, the plans call for installing the rear windows after the canopy is permanently installed. Has anyone done the rear window install with the canopy off the fuselage?
The benefits seem to be :
1) a lot more clamping capability
2) the canopy can be turned so gravity is your friend with respect to dealing with the Weld-on.
Thoughts and comments would be appreciated,
Bob Newman

Bob,
I put my rear windows in with the top on the aircraft but only temporarily affixed. Once they had cured for a week or so I took the top back off to do some of the fit and finish work. So far no problems noticed but I’ll know in a couple weeks when I put the top back on for good.

Cabosil can be added to change the consistency from honey/syrup to PCA tainted Peanut Butter when applying in an overhead adhesive seam or vertical configuration. Paul Grimstad #40450, is developing an airframe rotisserie to let the natural gravity of old age work to our advantage. Composite work, overhead liners and avionics are all made easier working with /instead of against, Mother Nature.
