Who knows how I can contact the maker of this mod for my RV7? Also,
if anyone has any pictures of this mod completed on their plane -
detailed photos of the process - please advise.

Thanks,
Craig

Craig,

Go to www.aircraftextras.com and scroll down the page til you see it on
there. It's called the "Meske Tip-Up Slider". The owner of the plane
shown flew it to our fly-in in Lebanon, TN a couple of years ago, and
it's pretty cool to see it work!

Hope that helps,

Craig,
Here the url where you can purchase the mod.
http://www.aircraftextras.com/

I unstalled this on my -7A early this spring after flying for 10
months. I like it's utility. Makes loading and unloading a breeze
without having to drag everything over the seats.

I had grand plans to take lots of pictures but in the end don't think
I took very many. I'll look at what I have and can take some of the
completed install as well if you need it.

Not a complicated mod. Like everything else, confusing when you first
look at the drawings but simple once you see the finished product.

If you're talking about what I think you're talking about, the guy that
you want to talk to is Rich Meske - sales@aircraftextras.com, I think.

Craig,

I have some pictures but not on this computer. Send me an e-mail to my
home address and I'll send you some. Jerry@jbyrd-b52.com I altered
the recommended plans for the anchor point (when you pivot the
canopy). I didn't like the plan's approach to that and didn't want to
countersink the screws that hold on track for the rollers.
