Lexan support requirements


Recommended Posts

I am putting a lexan back glass in the Cobra R. I see no requirement for support straps to be installed? Am I missing something?

 

What do you guys use?

You need them more on the outside than the inside. Keeps them from blowing out from the positive pressure inside the cockpit...

 

I have lucked out that venting my cockpit has aleviated the need for anything on the rear other than the bolts every 6" around the perimeter.

 

Your mileage may vary!

I thought the same until people from the tower started telling me my rear window looks like it's being sucked in away from my straps..........so now I don't know. After that I drilled several big holes in my lexan, still don't know. I also have vents in my tail section to let air out.

 

Rear isn't required by rules, but like 97 said, better vent.

I sandwich the lexan between two sets of supports. Each set has aluminum support, one on the inside, one on the outside.
