REFLECTOR: Hanger Sky Lights

[Terry Miles]

Tom

Couple more things to consider.  Sunoptics can provide UV protection advice
as I recall.  If you went with less expensive translucent material of any
kind, and you had it boxed between rafters say within a 2x6 frame you could
then drop an external frame on that with UV porch screen material or film or
the like all available at local building supply outlets for the summer
months and remove it like a reverse storm window in the winter months.  .

The cheap bubble-shaped ones will be hard to cover with film.  Go w/ flat or
pyramid shapes.  I have worked w/ all of these.   Just my 2 cents.  Good
luck.  \

Thanks for all the replies. The sky lights I will have are the corrugated
style so I'm not too concerned about leaks. The question was intended to get
feedback like this one regarding the sun interaction with the plane and
building supplies. I will work with the builder to leave some metal roofing
panels behind so I can install them if I later decide one or all of the
clear panels were a bad idea.  Plus I'll plan on keeping all foam and
chemicals stored away from direct sun light.

 

Joe Ewen - I will be about 2 hours from you at Twin Lakes Air Park (S17).
There is another fellow at S17 (not on Reflector) also building an SERG. He
just bought his engine (Lyc IO360) and would be installing it now except he
has diverted his attention to building a Light Sport airplane.   My plane is
in storage in Wisconsin until the hanger is done in another couple of weeks.

My only concern would be UV....I have no idea if the clear or even darkened
plastic or fiberglass of sky lights would filter it out...   I had a chunk
of blue foam sitting in filtered light of a window for a while and it
definitely took a beating from a few hours of filtered sun light a day over
time...
