Mesa Dave and I made a windshield for my old NAF out of a sheet of Lexan from Home Depot. We learned the hard way that a hand held jig saw was misery. The plastic would melt and fuse its self back together so the edges required lots of sanding. When we made my wind wings, we used a band saw and that did a nice job. Dave even used the remainder of that sheet of Lexan to make a windshield for Ralphie Red Snake. He said it was so much easier than mine, that we learned on. No idea which Lexan we used but it was soft enough that I had to be careful to use only mild soapy water and micro fiber cloths to clean it. my 2¢.
