I want to install my landing light in my wingtip. What material would be best to make the clear cover that can be contoured to the wingtip leading edge for the light to shine through?

LExan. It’s what the factory uses.

How do you bend it and make it stay? Heat gun?
Where do I get some?
Colorado Plastics in Louisville, CO is where I go for various plastics.

Maybe ask John and Debra to sell you just the lexan covers that they use.

Are the lens covers that they use for the Hoerner wingtip or the standard wingtip (the type I have).

I used plain old lexan and a heat gun.
Still looks nice and clear after almost 6 years.

I'm installing Hoehner wingtips and I've made my own wingtip light cutout. I'm using 1/8" Acrylic sheet. 5 minutes in an oven at 200F and you can do anything with it. It droops like jelly and you can drape it to whatever contour you want.

I got some lexan yesterday. I am going to try to form a couple myself. I have enough for a few tries.
