I am building a RV7 w/tipup and have heard terrible stories of pilot head injuries from the tipup skin (#702) edge. This skin is only .025" thick, even so its curve and the WD-716 frame support make it a real threat at impact speeds.
One item Ive seen offered by Classic Areo RV interior is the common black plastic/ w/metal wrap around edging commonly seen on many old snowmobile covers etc.
My questions are: #1. Is there any safer/more attractive edge product out their beside this common metal reinforced black stuff?
#2. Has anyone added an additional strip of alunimum to the underside of the skin along this edge to add some stiffness? The .025" skin seems too thin to adequately to hold any edging and seems prown to being bent by any mis-handling.
Any thouhts or ideas?
