Default Canopy cut!!

Well another 9 gets it's big cut. Took advantage of the beautiful 85 degree day here in WNY and decided to quit thinking about it and just do it. It was also a small goal of mine to get it done before we leave for Oshkosh Sunday. Need to order the Sika flex now!

Well done! I remember how nerve-wracking it was to cut the canopy on my -8 years ago. Now go enjoy OSH and don't think about all the holes you'll have to drill in the plexi when you get home...

Well done Dave. Let me know if you have any more questions about gluing.
When I did mine a couple years ago, these guys were the best source of Sikaflex
