I am in the process of trying to purchase a flying RV-6A.
Yesterday I looked at one at my airport and noticed a
substantial (1/2 inch?) gap between the bottom of the
slider canopy and the fuselage.
Is this typical of RV-6As and if so does it create a lot
of wind noise?
Also, is it adjustable (fixable) on a completed aircraft?
