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!
