Talk:Quarter Windows

Bob.. any hints on a clearance dimension for the quarter windows?

I was thinking of at least 1/8 inch (perhaps 3/16?) at 70F before the rubber foam from Fletchair is applied. thanks ....gil A

Not sure I understand your clearance question. Clearance from WHAT? Around the outside edge from the aluminum angles that are bonded to the fuselage?

I've never had any issues with the clearance around the quarter windows.

Bob... between the actual plexi and the alum angle that the rear window sits in. My plane might be a bit small here... see the picture of actual contact on the "Headliner" page. There is contact at the front edge too....

Window clearance

I'd suggest that 1/8" clearance before the foam tape is installed should be plenty. I use adhesive FELT tape, but Garner's Foam Tape seems to work well.

Thanks... I'll get sanding to make it fit... After I remove that pesky hardened putty... gil A
