| Subject: | Lens for landing light? |
Hi Guys,
I want to add a landing light to my TR-1. Do you know where I can purchase an acrylic
cover that would match the leading edge of the wing? Or have any thoughts?
I know Van's sells a kit, but didn't know if it matched our leading edge.
Thanks!
Steve

Hello Steve, This can be a real do-it-yourself project. Make a simple mold,
buy acrylic sheet from a craft or hardware store (it is really very
inexpensive), heat the acrylic in an oven, drape over mold, trim to fit,
drill holes for fastening screws, and install.
Don't over think this, it is really very easy and simple. Plan on ruining
the first two or three that you make. If you are willing to tackle this, ask
me for more details. Check the internet for molding acrylic sheet.
OC
PS: What kind of lights are you planning to put under the lens?

Steve; FWIW I made my own out of a piece of Plexiglas bought at Home Depot.
Cut it slightly larger than needed then using a heat gun CAREFULLY warm it
up until you can just barely mold it with a long piece of wood. Do it very
slow and it will come out just fine. I practiced with a few pieces until I
got the technique down pat.
