REFLECTOR: Windows

[Terrence Miles]

Also know that for the XL, the front windscreen is  not symmetrical.  You
cannot make a template of the left half and repeat it for the right half.
They are different.

I think the windows are always oversized and must be cut to fit. My manual
said to cut the hole in the fuselage, hold the raw window up against the
opening, trace the outline of the opening on to the window, then cut the
window about 3/4" larger than that outline.

I just cut out the fuselage to fit the windows.  Did anyone need to trim the
windows down to fit the cutouts?
I cut/sanded to the line on the outer skin. Going to cut back the inner skin
tomorrow... 3/4 inch.  Plexi seems to be a bit larger than the 3/4 relief
will allow for.
