70 J-3 Cub
Windshield Installation
Well, I finally did it! After much practice at
trimming and trial fitting, I finally glue the windshield on the fuselage's
forward structure using Formula 560 canopy glue. Mike Midkiff had
recommended earlier that I paint all of the structure that could be seen
inside with Cub yellow. To me, there seemed to be too much wood showing, I
was concerned about getting paint onto the yellow tissue, and besides, I
would not know where to stop painting. So I did not follow his suggestion on
this matter. For now, the windshield is glued down in only three places, (1)
across the top, (2) the vertical side post on the right, and (3) the
vertical side post on the left. Later I may come back and try to glue the
windshield around the cowl, what do you think? The three pictures below show
the windshield taped down while it will be left to dry
overnight..................Tandy
