Adam,

Orient window so it is on bottom. Use small wood blocks to keep window in place. Glue blocks around perimeter of window -- use enough to keep window from moving. Mix up hysol and apply to frame then put window in location. Use sandbag to apply pressure to window. Wipe up squeeze out.  No bolts!

My DAR (not a Lancair builder) told me about an interesting window installation method that eliminates the need to drill holes in the fuselage. He said the builder used suction cups, a wood frame, and a vacuum pump to hold the window in place from the outside while the Hysol cured. Has anyone out there used this method? Is it worth the effort? Got any pictures?

 

Thanks,
