What Drawing????
In the RV-6 Finish Kit instructions, Section 9, page 9-6, last paragraph, states that "Fig. 9-3 shows how a slot can be cut in F-631 to accept the tip of the canopy handle."
Well, there was no Figure 9-3 in my instructions document. I had called Van's tech support years prior to reaching this point in my construction task on similar omissions of figure details from the construction manual. I was told at that time that as more detail, and changing part numbers occurred, the manual either was or was not always updated for the correct verbiage, photos, and sketches. We should always use the "formal" drawings that came with the kit. However, in this specific instance, there was no formal drawing that shows the "slot".
The Preview Plans for the RV-6 , Section 9, last paragraphs, has words and sketches (SK-60, SK-60A) that show the operation of the Canopy Handle in the Closed, Resting Open, and Taxi/ Vent positions. This last item is the one that captures the tip of the canopy handle to prevent the canopy from being blown open.
Hope that helps...
