Good Morning All,
Yesterday I installed the aft window for the first time. Did not rivet anything yet. A couple of questions, looking ahead to final installation:
Should the edges of the plexiglass be finished in any way? Smoothed, deburred, whatever you might call it?
For final installation, should there be a bead of some type of sealant between the plexi and the skin? It seems that even though the fit seems pretty tight, there is a potential there for water to enter, especially if the slip stream was pushing it if one was to fly through a shower.
As always, the thoughts of older(?) and wiser builders greatly appreciated.
