Well I realy did it this time. I am rebuilding a RV6A "tilt" and somehow (without knowing it ) got paint stripper between the canopy and protective covering. Imagine my surprise ,when,after picking up the canopy / frame from the painter and removing the paper seeing all these spots where the striper "ate" away the plexi. To make matters worse I took my Dremmel (low speed) w/ buffing wheel and plexi polish and tried to buff them out --Folks DO NOT try this at home. Now it looks like a flys eye.
OK so I SCREWED UP -- So now what ??
Questions for all you who know better.
1- Does anyone have a "spare" tilt canopy they would like to sell ?
2- Since this was a finished plane should I try to dis-assemble the frame assembly and try to salvige what I can or should I see If I can get a new assembly and canopy and start from scratch -- Is that even possible?? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Up to now I was enjoying this sooo much.
