| Subject: | Perspex sliding direct view panels |
Frustrated with reflections in my ariel photos I am looking again at a sliding
window in the cockpit Perspex. I'd be interested to know if it's practical to
stick a lens out at 130knts and whether it would be just too alarming/ noisy/
blowy. Re the window, the mecaplex one is around 500, so not cheap for a punt,
and I have concerns about small splits/ cracks appearing. Any comments from anyone
who uses one would be appreciated. I already have three NCA air inlets so
it's not SO much about ventilation. I recall Pete Jeffers offering a jig a while
back.
An alternative might be a non reflective glass window lower down I suppose, in
the body where there is less light bouncing about. Or perhaps I should just experiment
more with black tubes/ foam around the camera lens.

A large rubber lens hood works quite well to stop reflections, you can get
a reasonably light proof seal with this.
I know this is not answering your question and you've probably already
tried this but I couldn't let it go unmentioned.
A removable panel in the bottom of the cockpit might work, you could also
drop bombs thought it. :)

Hey Mike. You can buy it here
https://www.silmid.com/products/re420200ml-araldite-420-epoxy-adhesive-200ml-cartr.aspx
This is the smallest amount you can buy and you will need the gun too. If your
asking "How to use it" then you obviously didn't build your aircraft so i would
talk to your inspector for guidance on the "problem" and he will point you in
the right direction reference the repair
Regards Frank
