Does anybody know of a company that builds
windshields for experimental aircraft?

Paul Lamar

I used my mold, which I learned was a very hard thing to make
right.
Took three tries before I got
a windshield you could see through with out getting sea sick.

What was the problem with your mold Mark?
I may have to build a mold unless I can find the people
that made KIS Cruiser windshields in the first place.

Paul Lamar

That is a male plug mold. Is that what they wanted?

That looks exactly like a cruiser wind shield.

Paul...

This is from Todd Silver's website...it may cost a bit more if
you include the shipping, but if you consider the time saved in
making a mold, it may be worth it:

 From www.toddscanopies.com :

My definition of a custom canopy is a canopy I haven't made
before. Here are all the ways I've made custom canopies:

* Full scale 3-view diagrams
* Builders have sent me canopy frames, and I've made
a canopy to fit it.
* Builders have told me where I can go and see a
canopy installed on an aircraft.
* Builders have sent me a cracked canopy. In one case
the canopy was in three pieces. I reproduced a
perfect canopy for the customer.
* I've been sent shapes made of fiberglass, foam, and
plaster of paris. I, of course, reproduced the size
and shape in clear plastic.
* Builders have given me a few rough hand sketches,
some dimensions and a lot of verbal descriptions.
With that I've produced a canopy they loved.

I am also willing to form plastic for products other than
canopies. _*I've put optically perfect compound curves in
plastic up to one inch thick.*_

Thanks Harley I might do that.

    U think that Todd may send you a second canopy at half price if you goof
    up the first one, Virg
