DRAWING NUMBER 1.400
Fitting the Aft Glazing Panels
SEE DRAWING FOR PARTS REQUIRED
Recommended job for two persons. Note. You may wish to paint the
fuselage before installing the glazing. Don’t remove the protective film at
this stage. Apart from a slight peel-back at the edges it can stay on until
after the fuselage has been painted and the glazing has been fitted.
1. Select the pre-cut Lexan panels as illustrated on the drawing and inspect
the edges. Remove any burring with course sandpaper wrapped around a
straight-edged block. Peel back the edges of the protective film about
50mm inside and out.
2. Offer up the top panel first by butting the front edge against the
corrugated Dural roof panel and duct-taping it in place at the sides and
rear. Make sure the panel is accurately positioned. The fuselage is pre-
drilled so using those holes as a guide carefully drill through the Lexan
at strategic positions and fix the panel in place with clicos. Remove the
duct-tape. Working from the front and from side to side drill out the
remaining holes using clicos as required. Replace the clicos with pop
rivets working very carefully and in a sequence so as to avoid “pie-
crusting” or “mattressing” of the edges.
3.
Repeat this method for fixing the side panels. Note. For access to the
aft interior it’s recommended that you cut the right-hand panel into
three triangles and fix the central (inverted) triangle with button-head
M4 bolts and stiff-nuts instead of pop rivets.
To ensure a neat join
attach the panel temporarily with clicos and using a long straight-edge
carefully mark it with a sharp chinagraph pencil. Cut the panel carefully
with a pair of shears or get it professionally cut.
