Brief Description:	Arch install
Today I installed the “Arch” (see image 1), because I didn’t like the square lines of the turtle deck front formers with the round look of the turtle deck. I just like how it looks with this rounded instead of the angle. I also applied the “Experimental” sticker I received from the EAA. I also took pictures of the rubber I glued to the top of the longerons. I really think it looks better than all the scratches on the longeron, plus it seals better. See image 2 and 3. The only thing I'm not sure of is that now with this rubber installed, the canopy is no longer flush with the turtle deck, it is up about 1/8". Today was also a day to fix a bunch of little things; like I changed a couple of LEDs for the trim indicator that I burned out, and I tried to fix some scratches I put in the panel and the vertical tail tip. I have the horizontal tips ready to install, but I know that if I install them I’ll end up scratching them because the garage door is not much wider than the tail is now, let alone the extra inches the tips will add.
