Super Cub Windshield

I need a windshield for my hanger 9 super cub. No parts are listed at horizon. Anyone have any suggestions?

Make one! Get a clear piece of plastic! Make a template out of some thicker paper!

Yes...you can make a cub windshield from flat clear sheet. Done it several times.

Perhaps a windshield from a regular cub?I don't know how many diifferences there are between the SC and C, but worth a thought.
Finding a windshield for a regular Cub shouldn't be a problem.
Also, have you tried Balsa USA?

Ok how do you bend it. Do you form it with a blow drier. What glue to you attach so it doesn't frost up? I am making one for my 1/4 scale Sig cub.

Have you tried Fiberglass Specialties? They don't list it on their website, but they make windshields. I purchased one off them for my DPM Cub.

A heat gun, hotglove, and TAKE YOUR TIME don't rush it. I made a windshield for a Bud Nosen Champ. The windshield was 10 inchs high and over 7 inchs wide and it turned out great.

I've seen ads in the RCU classieds for somone building "hard to find windshields"... I want to say he's called Probuilder? I can't seem to access the buy/sell section as we speak...

I was in Lowes the other day and saw sheets of clear plastic perfect for windshields. Most of the employees dont even know they have it. It is near the rolls of screen for screen doors. You have to look a little for it.
