Default Piper cub glass

I have the chance to get a 1/4 balsa USA cub already built and covered, but it has no cowl or glass. I can get a cowl from fiberglass specialties but don't know where to get the glass. Balsa USA doesn't sell it. Any idea?

As aserc suggested, flat plastic can be used to make the glass". I used black vinyl to make the "glass" on my Coroplast 71" WS J3Cub. You could do the same by gluing in place 1/32" plywood that are covered with vinyl.

The plans have a patt for cutting out the windshield . If you don't have a set of plans BUSA will probably forward a patt if you call them . The side windows you should be able to copy onto a piece of paper from the frame of your Cub .. Good luck
