Elaine,
I have never done it, so I am no
expert. I think you could just use your existing airplane wing to mold
it.. Most Plexiglas is malleable at a relatively low temp. I would
use a heat gun to heat the plastic and use the leading edge of your wing to
shape it to meet the profile. I would guess that the only concern is to
not use to much heat to damage the wing or paint.
I'm thinking about switching to the wing
mounted landing lights, using the skyport kit. Just wondering if
anyone has installed it. How much time does it take. It
looks fairly easy. My lights are on the main gear now, so wiring
would be a snap. Just seems strange to cut a hole in the
front of a good wing!!

----[Please read http://ercoupers.com/disclaimer.htm before following any advice in this forum.]----Has anyone made a mold with which to conform a plastic lens to fit into the wing of an A2A over the landing light? I was thinking plaster-of-paris might be an acceptable medium, but it couldn't be that easy, could it?Elaine 5466F============================================================================== To leave this forum go to: http://ercoupers.com/lists.htm Search the archives on http://escribe.com/aviation/coupers-tech/
