Hi paul and members of the list.
Can any one help me with the technic to forming perspex or acrylic for wind screens.
I am at the next stage of the construction of the fuselage and need information on how to form or manufacture this item.
I will attach a photo of the fuselage shell that needs windows.
Regards Don Dunbar

Here is the tiny bit I know about the subject.
A male mold is made and covered with a blanket.
The plexi is placed over the mold and  heated at roughly 250 degrees F.
The plexi is then pulled down over the mold I think.
Some times air pressure is used somehow I think.
