But our fellow Lancair builder from Germany Reiner Ressel has given me a new approach to the problem with a seal that should withstand movements in down and forward direction at the same time. He uses Silicone tubing which he glues into the rounded grove or depression in the aft forward deck and the roll over structure of the fuselage with a Silicone adhesive. He has sent me two different sizes app. 1/4" and 5/16" for a test, and I am going to try it out as soon as possible. Sounds like a very good solution. Regards Jens
