Hi everyone,
those spring loaded punches I can almost guarantee won't work. Plexiglas
won't shatter. They are designed to vibrate the molecules and shatter the
glass. I am not going to try it to prove it however from my experience with
plastic and plexi if anything it may cause a slight crack or rock like crack
in your car windshield. As for the windows blowing out, how does this
happen when the window is inserted from the inside of the fuselage. it
appears that Lancair needs to make, or for that matter the builder's, the
window flange bigger or stronger.
