Top will be riveted on, makes no sense to me to screw that section on since removing it would require removing the windshield.
Question for everybody that put glass displays in their cubs and all the magic boxes on a shelf behind the instrument panel:
Did you provide a source of cooling air or screened vent holes to allow heat to escape/air to circulate? A cub isn’t exactly a tight aircraft but that space behind the panel could get a tad toasty.
Mike,
I saw what you did with the modification of the composite boot cowl on the Wildcat Cub. Very cool. Unfortunately, I don’t have the skills, or tooling, to do that level of work. Mine will open at a position similar to Bill Rusk’s and Buggs builds. I’m putting a Dynon HDX 10” display in the panel. When pulled out it makes a big access hole.......that you can only get one arm through. Hopefully I can plan the avionics shelf so there is easy access to most connections.
Thanks for your input, all suggestions are welcomed.

I’m trying to fabricate the “D” window channel and not having much luck. Actually, no luck at all. I thought I would get on line and buy the stuff already bent. No luck searching so far. Would any of you folks have a source for this part?
Thanks for the help.
Mr. Ed
How is that large opening structured?View attachment 47942
Framed in my baggage door a couple weeks ago. I’ve also been working on my cable routing. Elevator cables run under the floor until about 2’ aft of this baggage door. Rudder cables routed along the lower corners of the baggage compartment and will be housed in a soffit formed into the Kydex interior panels.
Overhead flap lever installed ....
That alone is reason enough NOT to place it overhead. There are so many occasions without a mishap being involved to whack one's head, I just see that as a big hazard which one day will be regretted. You guys do what you want, you will never find my flap handle next to my noggin.Overhead flap lever seems to be all the rage now.
Never flown with one but it looks like a good place to whack your melon in a mishap.
The whole overhead flap thing was copied from the F model Luscombe. Torque tube running across the front carry-thru on bearing blocks with a rod running back to each flap. Dirt simple.I'm planning cable actuation, Steve. But thank you for that idea. Now you got me thinking again.

Are they that much handier than a standard side mounted flap handle?
