Jackie Yoder had car headlights in his leading edge. The only
tricky thing was bending the lenses. We went to great lengths
describing building the oven he used to heat up the acrylic.



I made copies of both sides of the LE of the wing out of plywood, formed
an aluminum sheet between them and covered it with thin felt and used an
oven set at (350(?). -- whatever Rohm & Haas recommends. Works like a
charm!
