Oracles,
Has any one with a 6 slider canopy tried using the skirt braces from a 7/9 slider?
Welded tabs? I'm a bit confused. The responses seem to indicate the stock C-791 canopy side skirt brace was omitted in earlier RV-6 finish kits, at least prior to my kit delivered in 2001. Was the C-791 originally designed for use with the RV-7 slider?

The sliding canopy skirt brace was introduced when the finish kit received a number of improvements with the introduction of the RV-9(A) in 1999 (I think??).

Hi John,
When did you get your canopy?
I recieved my RV6A finishing kit early 2007. By then, Van's canopy frame was equipped with square tubing for the side skirts. Also the new C-791 canopy skirt brace was included as well. I made a special die to put shoulders on the lightning holes of the skirt brace. This modification stiffened up the brace and hence the side skirt considerably. Send me a PM ([email protected]) if you would like pics.
