Bubble doors.... Heavy or light? Tinted or clear?

[alexM]

Yes there is .100" bubble door 1328.1000 or 1329.1000 Check out LPaero.com is where kitfox buys them. It is a little lighter don't know how much though.

Simple horse math
.125/.100 would be 25% lighter

Maybe someone will measure a standard Kitfox bubble door so we will know if the factory uses the 0.100" or 0.125".

Mine are .130, but that's with the protective film on both sides, so probably 0.125. One door, before trimming, weighs 6 lbs 8 oz. Mine were ordered from Kitfox and drop shipped by LP Aero.

.100 is a 20% reduction in thickness from .125, not 25%. A .100 door should weigh a bit over 5 lbs.

Nice Eric, your not a horse though just to be fair.

No, but he's the engineer in the room. (Sorry, Alex! )

I'm the horse's other end for sure. 20% it is.

I just email from Nikki at Kitfox, they only offer the lighter doors on factory builds, and the thicker ones for replacement doors???? Ill bet the weight difference is minimal anyway. too thicker ones is ok.

Thanks guys for all your input... Thicker doors and tinted it is.
