well the title does say start to finish, I just didnt say when it would finish! Project has been getting some attention, but other things seem to be getting priority, like rebuilding crashed rc helicopters!
Clearview was a triumph, and a failure, I could not get exactly what I wanted, so made my own, in a cobbled up sort of way, I was delighted with the results, then thinking I was using clear set cyno, stuck it on, and guess what, it wasnt clear, so the windscreen is now smudged with cyno, and the clearview has gone cloudy, but at this late part of the build, its not getting another windscreen, it would be too much work, so maybe one when its all finished. Also done some other fittings, the davit took ages to do. The nav, mast and cabin lights are all wired up and fitted, just the rear well deck, tow hook and a few small bits and bobs to do, trouble is I cant remember how all the running gear goes back together, its been that long since I stripped it all out!
I used a piece of stock bar in a lathe chuck, and using double sided tape stuck a piece of clear plastic on the end. Using a sharp scriber, I then cut the circle, then turned in the lathe the outer rim, cleaned it all up, used a dressmakers pin for the centre stud, some plastic card for the wiper and stuck it on the windscreen
