Does anybody have a windshield for a Dynaflite Pa-18 Super Cub ? Or does anyone make them ?
Any help would be greatly appreciated , thanks, Craig

Buy a clear sheet of .030" acrylic from Tower and make your own
make poster board templates first to get your pattern
Cut oversize with scissors and sand to the pattern line

thanks, good idea except for the molded part near the wing leading edge. I have the one
that came with the kit,used, it had a crack in it that was glued back together. Is this stuff from
Tower heatable ? Maybe I could fill the one I have with concrete or something and lay the new
stuff over it and heat it up to get the contours ? I don't know, but I do know I'm way tired and
have to go to work in a few hours, I'll be back tomorrow night. Craig

Any ideas what to use as a mold? or should I just say the hell with it and use the cracked one I have.
I was thinking about trying to make this as nice as possible, maybe even do the interior. I plan on floats
as well as tires. A homelite 25cc weedwacker for power, but whenever I look at the windshield, I feel
like just slapping it together and go flying. I contacted Dynaflite and they said they haven't had any for
years. Maybe that's why I got the kit so cheap!! Craig

OK I'll try that. I've got a ways to go yet, only halfway through the fuse.
I just keep looking at the windshield......... I guess I'll cross that bridge....
thank you, Craig
