I have clear perspex in the plane i have just finished and I am wondering about putting a couple of the glider type sliding vents in. Does anyone know where I can get a couple from and if they are easy to fit without cracking the perspex?

Hi Graeme,

Severn Valley Sailplanes is the place to go - see www.svsp.co.uk.

I don't think they are cheap but they do the trick.  Search for DV on their website (as in DV panel).  Not sure about how to go about fitting them without damaging the existing Perspex.

Regards,

Phil

Thanks, I found the web site and also AFE on line seem to do them but no one has a price, has anyone fitted them? I think I would just tape round the hole and route them with a 1/4 bit although that may make too much heat - maybe a hand hole saw.

Hi Graham,



I have fitted glider type sliding windows to my a/c.  The ones I fitted were

made by a Swiss company called Mecaplex.  When I got them 7 or 8 years ago

they cost something like £150 each.   If these are the ones you are going to

fit then I have an accurate template to go with a router fitted with a NEW

1/4" router bit. If you wish I can lend this to you but you will have to

wait till I get back from the States at the end of the month.

The cutting rate is quite fast and I had NO problem with heat.  Ensure the

canopy temperature is in the region of 60 to 70f. ie not too cold, before

cutting. Practice on at least one off cut before attacking the real thing.
