Well, this is the last major step in my RV-7 build and it seems I've been on my heels a bit. After finally jumping all in yesterday and drilling the windscreen, it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be (seems like most of this ~5-year build has been like that).
You can see from my pictures I have about 1/2" to 5/8" separation/outward bow of the plexi from the fuselage on the lower sides. I think this is somewhat normal.
Can someone point me to a picture or provide a description of how they used a clip to pull this in tight? Seems like a lot of stress will be concentrated in this area if I pull it in tight; but I need to pull it in, right? Can this be re-shaped with a heat gun? Maybe this is not a big deal to simply pull it in tight. Edges are finish-sanded smoothly.
Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks!
