 |
|
I have a one piece turtledeck, as shown in the attached picture. It must work well as it has many hours on it, but it weighs in at around 5 lbs. Maybe this isn't a factor as I see they are now selling one piece formed decks and they must weigh even more. What other options have people used? Weight? Or should I just fly it as is.

Make it out of sheet aluminum with some U channel stiffeners. Put in a
small window of plexiglass if you want one. Weighs a heck of a lot
less. All a clear rear deck does is add weight and let in extra heat in
the summer and you really can't turn around to see out of it anyway.
Now the overhead glass is wonderful for looking up and seeing into a
turn. Wouldn't be without that.
