Hi Guys. You guys that have installed your windows. The photo guide for the 801 goes into more detail, for instance they tell you to open the holes in the acrylic to .25 and use poly tube cutoffs from the brake lines for bushings. No mention of this in the 701 photo guide. Is this the better way to do it ? What say you who have gone before..........Geoff.

Hello Geoff.
I used the 801 method on my 701 and after 50 hours of flight, no problems with
the windshield. I highly reccomend this method, becaue the price of the
windshield for me up here in Iceland was high because of shipping cost of the
large and heavy box.
To avoid the windshiled from cracking, it will safe you time and money to use
the poly tubes throught the window.
Regards,
Johann G.

Geoff,
I used the rubber cutoffs for the screws on my canopy for the 601 and
recommend it because it keeps the screws from
pressing into the acrylic while it expands and contracts. Not as much
work as you might suspect. Cut off the lengths
just 25% longer than the thickness of the canopy and select the rubber
tubing for a good fit on the screws.

Thanks Johann and Larry. Thats pretty clear cut, you both suggest the same as I was thinking. I'm happy to go ahead with the windows now.
