Canopy seal

[tomkk]

I was surprised that there was no rtv seal between the lower canopy sides and the canopy skirt. No problem with water entering the seam between the attach angles and the canopy frame?

The air flow is out

I have used various thicknesses of foam seals to try and fill the gap between the canopy frame and fuselage rail. However when I'm flying I sometime feel what seems like a tug on my left sleeve near the elbow. I noticed my jacket sleeve being drawn into the space between the canopy and fuselage rail. It was strong or restrictive in any way but noticeable with a loose fitting shirt or jacket.

Before using the foam when I noted the gap I didn't feel air coming in as I reach across cabin. This explains it....its negative pressure in this area.

In Phoenix during August the extra airflow is appreciated!
