Hi guys,
I am rebuilding a tip up RV-6A and it always bothered me that the rear edge of the canopy is just -well bare-where you can see right down to the rollbar-UGH!
While at the Flying Tigers flyin this past weekend there were a few 9A's that had a nice band (maybe 3" wide) that went over the back of the tilt with a slight overlap over the rear canopy half - giving a nice clean finished look.
My question Is this part of the RV9A kit or is this a fabrication by some enterprising builders ?? Either way how is it done ? Is it an alum band (if so how is it fastened?) or is it strips of f/g laid up over the plexiglass ?
Any help will be appreciated.
