| I have added the windscreen supports. The SR10 does not have the widows peak windshield that the SR-5 through 8 have. I was going to make changes to this one and model the -8 but changed my mind. There are a number of alterations to the forward fuselage, cowling, and wing that would have had to be made and I got to the point where I just decided to do the -10. |

| Nigel Caruthers is the PIC...on one of the other boards an observer came up with that name and a bit of a back story so - there's Nigel in the pilot seat.. |

| HW, what you are calling supports are actually structural tubes that are part of the fuselage. It's easier to make glass panels that are flat. A molded wind screen is more costly to manufacture. The glass sets on the tubing with a rubber seal. An aluminum frame fits around the perimeter and is attached with #10 screws to brackets. It's 1/4" plate glass not plexiglass too. |

| Huey - thanks for the clarification on the windscreen...plate glass? not even tempered? No wonder bird strikes were always fatal. |

| Don C. if you mean the dog I have not named him...Still not certain my granddaughter will allow me to put him in the backseat. I suppose we could call him 'Auger' or 'Cavu' |
