Hi Ian !
Actually, you can have a nice setup without that extra lever.
Several builders here have mounted the slider type upside-down from
the manual. That is - do not mount the slider on the window, where
it can poke you in the ear. Instead, mount it up on the wing root,
and have the slider pin come down into an aluminum strip on top of
the window. You just extend the pin that goes through the slider
so it becomes a handle on the inside that you pull up to open the
window. It can be accessed from outside by making a Delrin button
(a 1" dia. rod) that goes up through the wing root fairing to push
on the pin, and the lock can be mounted on the fairing so it turns
into a slot in the rod. Hard to explain - can try to get photos,
but it will be after Oshkosh ...

G'day.
I have a problem with the window catches.
My kit was supplied with both types of catches, one being the same style as
fitted on the doors, and the other being a lever type that fits into the top
of the window frame and is operated by a lever with a knob.
Now here is the problem. I have the headliner kit, and if I fit the lever
type, the headliner completely covers the lever and it could not be reached
to be operated.
Has anyone any suggestions as to how I could fit the lever type?
Regards
Ian Donaldson
