This "canopy" looks perfect for the tip light lenses.
==Many Thanks !!== for the pointer.
I've ordered a pair for "engineering evaluation" and
will report asap. At $3.49 each, they will be good for
=something=, ie, a rudder-top strobe enclosure ?
FWIW, the spam-can TC'd Grumman-American
airplanes use a PMA'd tip lens from LP Aero Plastics.
While their tip lenses would be good for any homebuilt
needing a similar part, at ~$40 each they are 'way too
pricey for what they are: a thin, ( ~0.040" or less ) shape
of a soft, flexible plastic ( polycarbonate ? ) and are cut
to final fit with kitchen scissors.
