REFLECTOR: Leftovers

[Bachman, Jonathan]

Don,

 

I am interested.  I'm guessing the material you used was easy to work
with.

Jon,

 

I used a high-temp phelolic from McMaster-Carr (P/N 8641K122). The
minimum size is 12"x12" but you only need half that. 

 

I still have the leftover from my sheet if you're interested.

What is the best way to add some protection to the main gear legs to

prevent overheating from the brake disks after heavy usage?  My plane

has nothing, no shield, no wrap, and no AL tape.  I've read about the

problems that overheating the gear leg can cause and I don't want to

have to go there.

 

Thanks
