"qfly" wrote in message ups.com... One of our club instructors showed me a method that works well. Go to the local hobby shop and buy a piece of brass angle, 1/8" X 1/8" X 12". Jim DeRubeis Greater Houston Soaring Association Good idea, Jim. Fortunately, preventing these cracks is straight forward. I deal with a fair number of these little windows while installing Quiet Vent kits for people on the Minden ramp (gorilla marketing). I always check the tightness of the rail and flip out window screws and find many that are overtightened. They should be just finger snug, a few inch pounds of torque. Any tighter and the rail or canopy will develop cracks. Also it's a good idea to clean and lubricate the sliding window channels to prevent wear and tear. I use a Q-tip swab, moistened with silicone spray, to wipe the sliding surfaces. -- bumper ZZ (reverse all after @) "Dare to be different . . . circle in sink." |
