    From: "grantr" <grant_richardson25@yahoo.com>
    I found out my gps keeps a lot of information that can be downloaded to my computer. I can overlay my flight track on google earth and print out an excel spreadsheet with speed, altitude, and heading. Anyway I just calculated the numbers and my average full power climb rate according to the gps during takeoff was 658 feet per minute at an average ground speed of 43.5 miles per hour. Gross weight full fuel on takeoff 735 pounds Temperature was about 65 degrees and the field elevation is around 460 MSL My average speed on my trip during cruise was 54 mph.

    Subject: Scratches in Lexan Windshield
    From: "Kirby, Dennis CTR USAF AFMC MDA/AL" <Dennis.Kirby@kirtland.af.mil>
    Kolb Friends - I have some fairly significant scratches on the polycarbonate windshield of my Mark-3. Not so much deep scratches, but many swirls of scratches. Similar to what you'd expect if you took sand paper and wiped it across the surface. Do I need to replace the whole windshield, or can these be buffed out? I've seen products designed to remove scratches from Plexiglas. Would these same products work for Lexan? Many thanks - Dennis Kirby N93DK, 912ul, "Magic Bike" Cedar Crest, NM

    Hi Dennis, The best way to get rid of scratches would be to replace the lexan. That being said you might try "Plexis" which comes in a aerosol can. It is formulated for cleaning Plexiglas and will hide most minor scratches pretty well. An el-cheapo substitute is "Lemon Pledge" although I have heard it will cause problems with lexan over time. This is what I have been using and so far so good. Polishing and buffing will eventually remove the scratches but it takes time and if done wrong will create more problems than it will solve, dull hazy view, distortion etc. There are kits available from aircraft supply houses, "Micro Mesh" is one that comes to mind. Hope this helps Carlos G. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Kirby, Dennis CTR USAF AFMC MDA/AL" <Dennis.Kirby@kirtland.af.mil> Sent: Monday, November 03, 2008 12:39 PM Subject: Kolb-List: Scratches in Lexan Windshield > <Dennis.Kirby@kirtland.af.mil> > > > Kolb Friends - > > I have some fairly significant scratches on the polycarbonate windshield > of my Mark-3. > Not so much deep scratches, but many swirls of scratches.

Would >these same products work for Lexan? Yes, they will work on any clear plastic. It takes a fair amount of elbow grease, though. Just the other day I used Meguire's Plast-X from the local auto parts store to make the clear face shield on my flying helmet usable again... took about a half hour of vigorous polishing. It might be easier with an electric drill with a buffing pad, I didn't try that. One thing, don't ever use paper towels to clean your windshield! Paper is abrasive and will make the kind of scratches you describe. Use only a soft cotton cloth. -Dana -- The man who would be fully employed should procure a ship or a woman, for no two things produce more trouble" - Plautus 254-184 B.C.

    Also don't rub in circles. Rub in straight lines up and down that way if it scratches which it will over time it will not be as hard to see through. Use only a soft cotton cloth to clean. Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=212163#212163

    Dennis I use Kit paste car wax after I have cleaned mine. I usually wet a towel and lay it on the windshield for a while to soften the bugs and not have to scrub too hard. You might check with Travis, He had Mark 3 lexan on sale at one time. Overstock I think. I keep a chamois in the plane for anytime that I have to dry the windows. Steven Green

    Kit "scratch out" works great on automotive clearcoat. Should do ok on lexan too. More than once I have mentioned that GE sells a scratch resistant polycarbonate called MR10. -or did anyway. I have it on my MkIII and it still is as clear as new. Don't know why nobody else has tried it?????

    If you ever replace the windshield , use MR 4000 Lexan by G E the MR stands for mar- resistance......that is the best...
