Adding Pass. Strake Windows

[GlennBob]

Waiter,

Thanks for the response on the Strake Windows.  However, it seems you responded as thought I was working on an aircraft in the construction process.  I have a completed unit that I want to retro fit.   Could you possibly contact me with your current email addy so I can ask a few more questions ?  Contact me at : EZskyboy@hughes.net.

Thanks,   Glennbob

Sure,  Try me at   waiter AT iflyez DOT com

As for the retrofit vs new install, I believe you could do it almost exactly the same.

I did a retrofit without much directions and I did not (don't now)
know much about building.  

A problem I had:   The fiberglass around the window has to have
some finite thickness.   That means that the window will be recessed
or you have to have a way to carve a flange on the plexiglass.   I
had no way to do that so my window is recessed.   This is not very
good aerodynamically.    Maybe I can fix that someday.

You need to use a thick piece of plexiglass and find a way to carve
some of it away along the edges to make the surface flush with
the underside of the wing.   There may be a tool somewhere to do that.

I still don't know.

I think you could use a router to make the edge.
