Sealing the canopy in my Std Cirrus Glider - Did it work? Plus a test flight with the OpenVario

In my previous videos, there has been an annoying noise where the canopy does not make a seal against the fuselage. It is a buzzing noise and during a long flight really gets annoying.
Sealing the canopy was definitely needed and as the Standard Cirrus has a wooden frame around the canopy, it is prone to expanding and contracting at a different rate to the fuselage.
So, after recommendations on how to fix this I explain what solution I chose along with a short clip of that work, then into a test flight to see (or hear) what difference it made.
I am also still getting used to the new instruments I had fitted over the winter ready for the competition season; which I will be doing a vlog and have the GoPro in the cockpit as usual too.
I have the following instruments fitted:
7" OpenVario Glide Computer from SteFLY running XCSoar and remote stick
LX Navigation ERA80 Vario and backup navigation instrument
PowerFLARM with IGC and ADSB Out (anti-collision device for gliders)
57mm Altimeter
Dittel KRT2 8.33Mhz Radio (connected to the OpenVario)
80mm ASI (Air Speed Indicator)
I am planning on the next video to explain how the tailplane connects and how I have added my own things to decrease the risk of not connecting properly - which is a lifesaver.

Thanks for the advice - I will be using the silicone idea on my canopy leak(s). Also cool club you have a chipmunk for a tow plane AND a winch.

Thanks Mark. We have 3 ‘SuperMonks’ and a 4 cable winch. We hosted the Women’s Worlds earlier this year too.

I would have liked to see the process how you did it! But it seems to work like a charm! 👌

I placed cling film along the fuselage (bottom) where the canopy closes and taped it down. I then applied the silicone to the canopy itself and closed the canopy pushing it against the fuselage and cling film and left it for 24 hours. The video is then me returning and removing the tape as the cling film is stuck to the silicone when lifting the canopy and then peel off the cling film.

@@richardtorr-T7 what sort of silicone did you use? I guesse not every silicone light be usable for this?

No, I push an r-clip into the hole where the spring loaded button is.

I flinched for a second @4:47 when you rested the weight of the canopy on the DV panel rail with your left hand. Interesting video nonetheless, thanks for sharing :) We also just installed an OpenVario in our glider. Are you happy with it?

Thanks for the feedback. It was only for a few seconds and should be ok but I know what you mean about the canopy. The Openvario is brilliant and I’ve flown in a competition plus a few cross country flights and it way better than the Oudie I used to have. I’m about to do a video on the Compman application that reads the competitions and downloads tasks and airspace automatically!!!
