Varga to Vans
I'm New Here
On the RV-8A should the left and right fiberglass canopy skirts overlay each other at the rear of the canopy, or should they be cut to form a butt joint where they meet. The overlapping would seem stronger but take more fiberglass build up to smooth everything out. The butt joint would seem weaker but would allow for a better fit to the canopy and fuselage. Manual and drawing do not show a detail of what Van's is thinking.
