My last plane, a Mooney M20E had one. It was very efficient and well made. My only regret is that I didn't take a bunch of close-up photos of it before I sold it. I think I can build anything if I have drawings or pictures, but I'm no designer!

At $7 I assume it can only be a BNC bulkhead connector and a length of self adhisive copper tape. As I have both items to hand in my tool box this could be a very economic route to take. Could anyone who has installed one confirm my assumption and does the installation perform sarisfactorily.

It's on the top, just missing the metal strip down the center. It's not in a bad spot, not noticable unless I make a point to look for it. My concern is that it turns into something else. I'm thinking I should try to buff this out. Aircraft Spruce has a whole page of scratch removal kits but they all seem to be for restoring old, crazed glass, not for repairing a deep scratch. Does anyone have any suggestions as to what I should do or use? Many thanks, John Von Dohlen Canopy Side Skirts
