Greetings, Larry,
I found your response in the archives, concerning the
inside flashing of the canopy side rail.
"Mark,
I shortened the inside flashing so it rolls in before
getting to the
panel. "
I'm at that point, but wondering how the air leakage is,
from the gap in front of the fwd tube. There's no way of
laying the inside flashing vertical (alongside the panel
edge) if it wraps around the tube. I'm thinking of cutting
(perhaps the top half) the inside flashing just fwd of the
tube, then leaving the fwd part to run vertical above the
side-rail frame. It's not really structural in front of
the tube.
Any thoughts?
I looked thru your pictures -- fantastic web site -- I
refer to it often.
Many thanks,
Richard V., XL/3300, Kansas City.
ps--Ol Ray has about 12 hours on his HD/EA-81, but not
without some engine probs. First problem (blowing
oil-smoke) turns out was caused by over filling oil (oh,
well..). Now he's got coolant showing inside the valve
covers. Took heads off -- they check out OK. Still
looking.
Also is nose "heavy". He's adding a trimtab extension, for
starters, before he messes with remounting stab.

FWIW I'm at the point where my canopy is almost finished too. One of the
last things to do is to act on the decision I already made to cut the inside
flashing just forward of the front tube. It rubs against the corner of the
instrument panel. Even in the photo guide, the same problem is evident in
the pictures. I'm thinking that a piece of rubber weather stripping on the
vertical end of the inside flashing after cutting it would seal the gap with
the panel. Just a thought.
