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.
