RV-4 built and sold :-(
RV-10 built and flying
KitFox SS7 built and flying and now on amphib floats!
This is one part of the plane I wish the factory offered something better that was bolt on.

This would be a good candidate for their carbon parts, it's small and could be left long for custom trimming.

Nice Bruce. Very simple in design and obviously works well. Might do what John said .......

I do like those Bruce. I've got mine through paint, so I think they'll work for now. But after I'm flying, I might do that when I'm looking for a project. It gives a better finished look.
For those that did it by the manual, what adhesive did you use to attach the rubber? I can't get anything to stick: Silicone, contact cement, cyanoacrylate, none of them want to hold well.

3M Auto weatherstripping adhesive works well. Might need some clamps till it is dry. FYI - lacquer thinner will clean the stuff off your fingers, tools, etc if needed - DON'T get the lacquer thinner on the windshield.
Important to solvent clean the rubber and cuff before applying adhesive.

Its definitely something we have considered. The challenge is that there is just enough variation with wing rigging and how the windshield is fit, that it is tough to have a one size fits all. There needs to be a way to make them adjustable. Hard to do with composite. Any ideas......I’m listening. 😉

That's why on RVs there are several areas that are done by the builder...i.e. gear leg to fuselage fairing, base of windshield fairing.
