Sliding window mod?!

[bjdecker]

So, here I am -- feeling under the weather and watching airplane-pr0n on ewetube and I caught a glimpse of an interesting mod. See pic. Anyone know the details - who, where, how much? For reference, this was a swiss registered RV-7.

Cheers!

Tony Bingelis damaged the bubble on one of his RV’s (or maybe the Emeraude or Falco he built) and wrote an article in sport aviation about installing a small window to replace the damaged area. Might want to search the Sport Aviation archives.

I love that idea! Reminds me of my first Piper warrior
