mecaplex window

Dose anyone have an extra window? I have the rails.

I believe differences.....thus make, model, tint or not, etc....goes a long way.
Also location, shipping can add a lot....

Hi Morris,

I have a blue tinted one with the pop-out scoop. Window opening is 112mm x 160mm. 3mm curvature in the vertical direction and 0mm lengthwise. Let me know if that works and I can make arrangements to get it to you.

Hope you're doing well and staying healthy down in TX.

There is a Dutch guy that advertises on the German want ads
who can make the windows and the pop-outs for a very reasonable
price. I bought 3 pop-outs from him for our club last year.

This ad is for the pop out windows, but he can make the whole
window as well. These are new, not used.

Wow!Â* $300 for a little plexiglass window.Â* I guess that, since we own
aircraft, we can afford expensive ****.

One of the arms on my window scoop broke, so instead of buying a new one, I shored it up with a strip of thin aluminum cut to shape. Works great, and saved me $275.

Last winter I made two window panels with pop out vents, and 4 rails from scratch using 1/2 inch plexi for the rails and .120 thick plexi for the windows.
I used a router table, $99
a router $149
..120 Plexi $95
1/2 inch plexi $60
special spiral bits $22
and about 25 man hours $? (not counting the discarded learning curve mistakes)

Used my oven and a curved section of aluminum to match the canopy curve
I would have gladly spent $300 but I needed an oversized window.
I like a good deal as much as the next guy, But flying is Spendy!
