Can someone suggest a locally available adhesive  for use in bonding the rubber canopy seals to the front and rear of the XL  canopy?  

 Thanks in advance

I believe (haven't done it yet myself) that someone on the list recommended a silicon adhesive like Dow Corning Silicon Adhesive.

There's lots of information in the archives on  this.  The most popular one seems to be Poly-Zap, which is available at  hobby shops.

Al,

I used PolyZap which is similar to crazy glue.  Terrific adhesion. Use a 

drop every inch being careful not to let it get above the overlapping 

rubber on the canopy.

I'm good with bonded structures, but don't know as much about them as rivets. I had a 68' Beech Musketeer that was bonded from the main spar forward. It held up fine until 2004 when it was destroyed in its hangar by a hurricane. Bonded area was fine. Also, this plane had "wet wings" in this area. Old friend (who was a Beech test pilot at one time) told me of a load test on this wing. It was mounted about 2/3 span 4' off the floor. Weight was applied until the belly touched the floor. Weight removed and wing checked with straight edges with zero deformation.

 I just retired from 25 years flying helicopters over the Gulf of Mexico. Most experience was with the Sikorsky 76. The only aluminum semi monocoque structure was aft of the engine exhaust. The rest is bonded nomex honeycomb with some fiberglass. Unbelievably robust. I have couple thou hours in serial number "Two" built in 1976 or 77. It was traded in 2004 for  a batch of new 76C "plus" models. Structure was as good as new except for the never ending battle against aluminum corrosion. These aircraft spend their life outdoors in a hot, humid, salt enviornment with no structual issues. Electical is a whole other story. I recall that composit/bonded areas never needed repair, only the aluminum.
