I found some old posts that described different methods for sealing the aft part of slider canopy against the fuselage in the closed position in flight. A lot of the pictures were the side by side 6s and 7s but no good solution evident for the -8. I do have a gap at the aft end with the canopy closed and would appreciate any pictures and parts needed for the -8 slider canopy. The original builder has some hardware type weatherstripping stuck to the bottom of the aft canopy skirt but it is much too thin to cover the gap. The -8 lived its past life in Texas so probably wasn't a big deal.
Never noticed it until I started flying in the colder weather here in Missouri. It’s not particularly bad for me up front if I turn up my jacket collar. Afraid it might be a bit brisk for anyone in the back seat in the winter. My heater works very well though.
If anyone has some solutions please post descriptions and pictures here or PM/e-mail me directly.
Thanks
