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. -------- Graeme Bird G-UMPY - Mono Classic/XS FFW 912S, Woodcomp 3000/3W CS, trutrak Gemini 2 axis ap, pflarm, ads-b out, 8.33khz, mode S, FP 5, Aera500 & SD on Nexus, 250 hours & 4 years on the Mono, 880 total g(at)gdbmk.co.uk Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=460291#460291 ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 01:44:10 AM PST US From: Graeme Hart Subject: Re: Europa-List: Perspex sliding direct view panels 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. :) On Tue, Sep 6, 2016 at 7:21 PM, graeme bird wrote: > > Frustrated with reflections in my ariel photos I am looking again at a > sliding window in the cockpit Perspex.

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 Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=460297#460297 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Other Matronics Email List Services ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Post A New Message europa-list@matronics.com UN/SUBSCRIBE http://www.matronics.com/subscription List FAQ http://www.matronics.com/FAQ/Europa-List.htm Web Forum Interface To Lists http://forums.matronics.com Matronics List Wiki http://wiki.matronics.com Full Archive Search Engine http://www.matronics.com/search 7-Day List Browse http://www.matronics.com/browse/europa-list Browse Digests http://www.matronics.com/digest/europa-list Browse Other Lists http://www.matronics.com/browse Live Online Chat! http://www.matronics.com/chat Archive Downloading http://www.matronics.com/archives Photo Share http://www.matronics.com/photoshare Other Email Lists http://www.matronics.com/emaillists Contributions http://www.matronics.com/contribution ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- These Email List Services are sponsored solely by Matronics and through the generous Contributions of its members.
