Bird Strike Help

Unread post by Allison 501D13H »

Good Morning All,

Yesterday afternoon I took my son up for a quick sunset cruise in my RV6A Slider, and unfortunately we hit a Kiwit, which came through the window. Thank goodness, no one was hurt, just my poor Rv. Now there is a big gaping hole the size of a soccer ball on the passengers side.

Can anyone offer me some advise on where to begin getting it fixed? I’m based up in Joburg at Fly Inn.

I thank you in advance.
