Default bvm mig hatch gap fix

the bvm mig has a long hatch and most i have seen including my new one, has a gap in the hatch directly over the turbine. i posted pics of this trick a while back on my 339, but i finally got around to doing the same to the mig. i have 2 before and 2 after pics. however, pics do not do it justice. the gap is all but gone. barry

Very sweet solution Barry. Dave Ribbe uses the same system. I personally used BVM canopy hooks at the joint/junction on mine with the saem result. I will say your system is far superior to mine. I plan on chaning mine out to your way during her repaint.

Have you flown it yet? If nto you will love it. About one of the sweetest flying birds you can get.

Barry,
That is a really nice looking MIG! What motor are you using?
Thanks,
Bob
