Default Need to look at a slider...

I'm in San Marcos today and tomorrow, would really like to take a look at someones 7 or 9 slider canopy for a few hints/tip about final fit and finish. I'm in this stage of the project now and the instructions are a bit cryptic. Anybody in SAT or AUS area?

Greg,
We have a 7A and 9A slider at Lakeway, 3R9. Both of these were done with Sika, and we both did a composite skirt layup. Both are flying.

I'd fly down to San Marcos, but it looks like the weather will be cruddy. Maybe Sunday will be better
If you can't find one closer, send a PM and we'll make arrangements.

Many thanks to Chip and Wayne for taking an hour out of their day and answering a lot of questions! Those are two beautiful aircraft you guys have in your hangar.

Thanks!
