Re: Winter Ops
The same as for the other plane with the cracked canopy. Fill the join with silicone and then apply electrical tape on top. The aft canopy overlaps the lip of the fuselage and the crack will not migrate from one material to another so , since the crack already reached the edge of the plexiglass, it won’t go any further.drseti wrote:Glad to hear that.

in terms of visuals, I will apply a nice vinyl decal to make it look like it was there on purpose

Re: Winter Ops
The fix was pretty cheap - about $100 altogether.
Below are some pictures - the original crack + the new star-themed vinyl graphic I designed to cover the crack/fix without replacing the entire back canopy.

Re: Winter Ops
Clever!
Admittedly better than a giant Bandaid or bullet hole decals.
Though the latter might have had some warped appeal!

Re: Winter Ops
Hehe ... my wife was suggesting something more "fancy" , along the lines of this one:
but ... nah , it falls into the same "bullet hole" graphics category ( as you mentioned ) - stuff that looks cool at first but then gets old rather fast
Anyway, the design itself , as usual, is in the eye of beholder but I think for the price of the fix, I would have been hard pressed to come up with something better.
