Jef,
I also suggest that you take a small piece of scrap plexi (from the excess
cut off thecanopy) and try the differnt methods first.

Hi Chuck,
I would question just one thing you mentioned here. The problem with a reg
ular drill bit on plexi is the amount of twist in the bit will allow it to
try to pull through the plexi causing a crack. You mentioned using a new #
40 bit, but in reality I think you are better off with a dull one. I used
a regular =93dull=94 bit to drill my initial holes in the canopy. Then I
used the plexi bits to open them up to the size I needed.
Anyway, I could be wrong but it seems this is how I remember how it goes.

Jef, We used a cut off disc in Dremel tool but we did it free hand. One no
te of caution - allow some extra overhang (beyound the line on the canopy).
The overhang will not interfere with fitting the canopy to the frame or dr
illing your holes. After you have fitted the canopy canopy, drilled your ho
les and clecoed the canopy to the fame you can mark the excess for removal.
BTW we tried the plexiglass drill bits and had much better results but dri
lling the initial hole with anew #40 drill bit and then opening up the hole
with the small Uni-Bit. We did have the garage at 60 degrees C (85 degress
F) for 24 hours before we drilled the canopy holes. Best Wishes, Chuck & D

Not very long ago there was an article in EAA-SPORTAVIATION that explained
and suggested to make the cut using a cutting bit in a Dremel tool with a c
utting guide.
I think it was written by an RV builder.
I cannot find the article anymore.
Anyone know the details, or has experience with this method ? Should you re
commend it?

I've not heard of such capability before so I called our friendly local, and brand-new
high tech, approach facility here in Indy to ask them about radar derived
altitude. The answer was no, all they have is mode C capability.
As someone else commented, military facilities used to have PAR that could esentially
derive altitude along a specific range, but I'm not sure those facilities
are up and running any more.
