    Hi Ed!! Yes, bring it!!! Would so enjoy meeting you!!

I cut the wing leading edge out to the length I needed for a landing and taxi light, then used that cutout as a mold to pour plaster of paris into to make a form for shaping the lens in the oven. When that didn't work as well as I wanted, I made a better wood shape and covered it with metal for a great former that worked fine. A finished lens is shown next to it. I don't know if the four place leading edge is the same as the two place but you are welcome to use my former if you want. I may be in INDY next Tuesday if you would like me to bring it and we could meet up. > ----- Original Message ----- From: <pastormac@comcast.net> > To: <kis-list@matronics.com> > Sent: Tuesday, January 10, 2017 10:58 AM > Subject: KIS-List: 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 >> Sent from my iPhone >> >>> On Jan 3, 2017, at 4:09 AM, Keith.Miller@esa.int wrote: >>> >>> >>> Steve >>> >>> OC is right.
