Aerosport Carbon Fiber Panel RV-9 Tip-up

[Tom Gan]

Just starting the journey to install my Aerosport Carbon Fiber panel in my Tip up. Appreciate advice from anyone that has installed their panel or is close to planing an install. I don't think that the install is that much different from the models but there are some considerations for the Tip Up that I can see off the bat. I read the basic panel install on the Aerosport website and there is not much detail there. Anyone interested please send me a PM. If folks are interested in my learnings I can post after I get my path forward determined.

You're right, there isnt too much to it. Mainly though, for the tip-up you will need to do some "surgery" on the panel for clearance around the canopy weldment cross bar, the cockpit side rails and also around the struts. Not difficult, but kind of nerve wracking since its not a cheap part...dont make a mistake if you dont plan on painting it, i.e., leave the Carbon fiber look. I have a few pics on my site...
