Hi=2C Here is my 2 cents worth
The original Kitfox Model IV used 3/32 or 2 1/2 MM. It had a VNE of 125 Mp
h as compared to the Speedster which was 140. The airplanes are the same e
xcept for clipped wings=2C and some speed mods. They determined that above
125 the wind screen deformed and they used 1/8 inch. It prov ed to be a p
roblem as some of them broke. I replaced my wind screen a few years ago=2C
Tap plastic gave me 3 MM by mistake and I installed it. Seems a lot stiff
er then my original and I was right. I would put the 3 MM back on if I wer
e to replace it. Used heat gun to take out any stress=2C worked great.
If I were to take a bird strike=2C I would prefer the bullet proof Lexan.
