Have tried various places and Google but to no avail. Thanks in advance for any help and hints Regards Jan There is a vigorous cottage industry engaged in forming cockpit transparencies for light aircraft. Homebuilders will often make a ply crate with an internal electric heater to allow a flat to be heated to its spaghetti temperature, whereon they place it gently over a felt covered (even greased) form, and gently press it down in contact. This is not everybody's cup of tea. There is at least one shop that does nothing but transparencies of this kind, and does them perfectly. I have not kept contact details, but I could suggest you readdress the question to rec.aviation.homebuilt where doubtless someone would have the address on file. Brian Whatcott Altus OK |
