You beat me to it, Lowell. : ) Plus the fact that if I'm building
storm windows, my "pucker factor" is a WHOLE lot less than when I'm
building an airplane. Different materials, different tools. One size
does not fit all.

One thing no one has mentioned yet. The AeroPlastics windsheld is
Acrylic. It is an entirely different amimal than Lexan. Acrylic
will crack easily if not treated well. Lexan on the other hand is
used for break resistant glazing. It has a rubbery consistency and
will take a lot more abuse than Acrylic. You can form it cold in a
sheet metal brake. Acrylic will break in a brake  and has to be
heat bent usually with a hot wire.

That is interesting. I wonder how many different brands they used. Mine is a
4-1200. Is yours also? Can't remember when but seems like Aug 92.

Yes, mine was a IV-1200. We purchased the kit around that same time frame.
