Sepp, the rear window is of some use while on the road for I can see if there is traffic in the lane behind me. For backing up, I have a camera which really is a lifesaver. The side windows are useful, well the passenger side window is. On those occasions when you are pulling up to a road at an angle to turn left, you can see if there is any oncoming traffic through it.

Your construction method is right on for what you need. Again, you are quite a craftsman and your work looks very professional. I do things in fiberglass because I have worked in it since I was 16 years old.

I include a couple of pics of the smoke testing in a wind tunnel I had my cap in. The first is smooth smoke over the center of the lid and the second is the clean separation at the end of the cap. The third photo is of me (the short guy) and Phil Knox, aerohead himself. You'll have to come to Texas and meet him if you can. He is a great guy and we have all learned alot from Phil.

Best of luck on your second aerocap. It is coming along nicely.
