A word of caution with Lexan windshields. We have a Rans S-6 at our field with the Lexan windshield.The owver spilled a very small amount of fuel on the tightly curved portions next to the wing root. The windshield IMMEDIATELY crazed ! It appeared to be shattered to the eye. I later talked with another S-6 owner and he had 2 windshields do that and he had to replace both of them. He now uses a cover over the Lexzan when refuelling.

  I think the Lexan was not properly heat formed in these areas and was under constent stress so when the gas hit it....POW ! Lexan is very easy to cut and form compared to plexi so I think it was just one flat piece.
