Re: Crap inside my vacuformed's canopy

Mike:

In the vernacular I think you are stuffed. Whats probably happened is that the static charge on the canopy has attracted the dust. Unless you can suck the stuff out with a micro vaccuum attachment like they use for computers (and hey, would I stick an electrolux up my 50 hour masterpiece - no way!) or are prepared to send a luke warm weak water / detergent mix in it to swill it out (same response here) its one for experience.

By the way, my wife was looking over my shoulder and wondered if I was in the kinky newsgroups, and if anyone really would crap in your vacuformed canopy. Reminds me of the old joke about the grandfather and the $20 hooker . . . .

Ciao

Mine does the same thing, so I keep that window minimized and switch back and forth. Anyway....you're going to have to explain the grandfather and hooker thing

Any chance you could get a can of "Dust Off" and use the thin straw to carefully direct a soft blast of air in there to blow the stuff out?

Just my $0.02 worth...

No way to get to it. The only opening is for the turret and there's a bulkhead at the rear of the cockpit. I've tried warm soapy water with no effect....leading me to post this question. I suppose I'll have some surgery to do...............Mike T

You can get the same effect with a cigarette lighter that has a piezo igniter cheaper to. very useful when you have to pick up handfuls of bean bag beans.
