[rebel-builders] lexan door/windows

Post by Ken » Sun Feb 19, 2012 12:12 pm

If you mean the bubble windows - how do you open them on a Rebel? Seems
like they'd be hitting the door when open or the wing with gull wing doors.

Ted - I used the strip caulk from Aircraft spruce but I'd think that
most glass suppliers would have it.

I've seen some of the Rebel pictures with lexan for the full doors. Looks
like a good thing in terms of being able to see down each side. Any
comments pro or con on going this route? Noise? Visibility? I'm sure it
adds a few lbs, although just a few.

I have them on mine and like the extra visabity. Helps with float operations too. Not sure if it affects sound or not. Since the thickness is more than the aluminum, can't see why it would be worse.
