Brief Description:  Began building the Windscreen/Roll Bar Assembly

With the Aft Upper Fuselage Skin temporarily installed, I could began working on the Sliding Canopy Assembly. The RV-7A Sliding Canopy Assembly consists of two main components; the Windscreen/Roll Bar Assembly which is fixed to the fuselage, and the Sliding Canopy Frame/Plexiglass Canopy which slides fore and aft. The Windshield Frame also serves as an overturn structure or “Roll Bar”. It consists of a formed steel tube weldment with a flanged base which is bolted to the fuselage upper longerons and cockpit rails. The Roll Bar also includes a center brace which attaches to the upper forward fuselage. The Windscreen is screwed to the Roll Bar and is bonded to the top fuselage skin with an epoxy/fiberglass base molding which I will have to fabricate once it’s in-place.
