I am replacing by windscreen on my Model IV. I have done this once before using the sheet of polycarbonate. Currently, Skystar only handles the preformed windscreens. If I go with the preformed windscreen, is there any problem with it fitting correctly.
If anyone has done this I would appreciate your advice.

I installed the LP Aeroplastics pre-formed windshield/skylight. (This
was before John and Debra took over the reins at Kitfox Aircraft,
LLC) I had no problem, as the 'screen comes (mine anyway) oversize
side-to-side, and front-to-back. Mark well, and cut with a Dremel
abrasive disc. Smooth and round ALL edges, and use the proper drill
for the screw holes....30% oversize as I recall. I used anchor nuts
to secure to the fuselage all around.

You can buy a sheet or 1/2 sheet of Lexan and use that .
pretty simple, just smooth the edges on on all edges to stop crack propagation. .060 .090 or .125 you can use.
I full sheet 4 x 8 ' will run under 100$ depending on thickness you use.

I installed the preformed winshield from Kitfox on my Speedster.
It fit very well, only required a small bit of triming along the door posts.
