|
|
Those of you that have been parked in rain and flying in rain: how has the turtledeck and its full width bracket held up for leaking? And the seam at the aft end? Any experiences/suggestions?
I was thinking it might maybe be better to slide the TD all the way forward under the wide bracket to get more overlap than the 1/4 inch or so I've seen in some pictures. |

Dave, this is how far I came with mine. I don't believe I will have problems with the rain. Of course, have not tested it yet :?

Looks very good, nice aft extension of the Lexan you have there. Any sealant between the lexan and underlying surfaces and rivets, or just natural? Thanks! |

Dave, I believe in going "all natural".... :shock:
Actually, don't have anything on the back but of course will seal all the front. I am hoping with the slope and how far I extended the lexan there should not be any blow in even sitting still.
