Group,
Thanks for the advice on the 701 top windshield. The guys that said never put tinting on top of plastic knew what they were talking about. It doesn't stick right and deforms under heat -- sunlight. I found a guy that puts on a paint (maybe epoxy) that sticks to the plastic like glue. I can't even scratch it off. I didn't see him install it but he said you put in on like silk-screen. It reminds me of those windows on buses that you see a picture from the outside but sitting inside you can see out. Cuts out about 75 % of the sunlight, but visibility is still good. Kinda weird !! If I had to do it again I'd buy myself a tinted piece. I told him about the center diagonal stiffener ( 7-F-12-3) the top windshield kept vibrating against it and I was afraid that it would get worse at 85 - 90 mph. He suggested putting a stiff piece of tape on both sides and fill it up with silicon about 1/2 inch. I did as he said and took the tape off after about 30 min. and let dry for 48 hrs. Re-installed the windshield and it squishes-down (is that a word? ) real nice -- no vibration. Thanks guy's !!
I am looking for a good ground adjustable prop to pull this aircraft through the sky. Is any body out there totally happy with their set-up. I'm using a 912S 100 hp. I am open for suggestions.
Almost there !
Bob
