Joe Berki Posted April 27, 2004 Share Posted April 27, 2004 Has anyone with long ez type canopies designed a system to deal with the thernmal expansion and contraction of the plexiglass causing the the frame to raise up at both ends? I probably should have chilled the plexi with ice bags during cure but that was impractical. How much pressure can the frame/plexi take if the hinge/latch system forces the frame into position? Are inflatable gaskets out of the question? Thanks for any help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
niceez Posted April 28, 2004 Share Posted April 28, 2004 It does pull and will banana at altitude. One reason I want a split canopy. -Dale Quote -- Dale Martin, 509-780-7320 LEZ Lewiston, ID EAA Technical Counselor Owl Eagle Aerial Composites =====================> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
