Re: cracking / crazing of windows.
Treatment depends on material.
And what's causing the cracking.
Lexan? Acrylic, Plexiglass?
If it's lexan it's a stress crack. No stopping those, but I'd be tempted to try a flame to seal the edge.

Re: Geek's STi Build
Pretty sure it's acrylic. I took a Dremmel drum sander to it and sanded them out (read cut them out) and then smoothed out the edge finish down to 1000 grit. Run the engine a couple times and it was on the trailer moving to the hangar and they didn't show back up. Guess I'll see when we fly it. Thanks for the comment.Originally Posted by cavelamb

FINALLY got my registration and was able to submit my air worthiness request. Been talking to the DAR and working to get the plane ready for inspection.

Awesome! Are you going to share the significance of the tail number?

Re: Geek's STi Build
No significance to the numbers but the SG is Sandra and Gary. The wife was big in support during the build, is getting her PCL so she can fly it too, and didn't maim me when I put dents in the checkbook. She deserved some billing

Re: Geek's STi Build
Today I got to change my signature from building to done. Had the DAR stop by and got my airworthiness inspection all signed off. Now all I got to do is learn how to fly a taildragger!!!
Still stuff to do but she's legal!!
