Raymond,
The plans call for 1/8" plexiglas. Many builders now are using 3/16". Plexi and
lexan each have good and bad points. I am building with 3/16" tinted and coated
polycarbonate(lexan). The coating improves the fuel/chemical resistance.
Plexiglas is cheaper and will also do the job. Eric

Subject: Tailwind-List: Windshield question.
Greetings,
The airplane I'm designing will probably have a windshield shape similar to
the Tailwind. Can someone tell me what the dimensions of the material used
for the windshield, including thickness. I see some people are using lexan,
which will be my choice. Anyone using other materials and can offer pros
and cons of the various choices? My gas fill will not be near the
windshield so exposure to gas is not a big issue.
Thanks very much in advance.

Eric,
Thanks for the reply. Can you tell me what the dimensions of the
windshield are and is the brace I see running down the middle helping to
strengthen the windshield?
Thanks,

I welded little tubes with small crutch tips midway up the diagonal tubes.
