Hello again, you should be able to leave the
instrument panel connected to the front section of the
instrument panel but you will need to release this from the
windscreen and the pod obviously

Thanks for the instructions. I have pretty much
disassembled and am now reassembling the plane. So leaving
the pod off is no problem. Should I have the dashboard
installed first? Thanks
?
Hello, yes it is possible to fit
a one-piece windscreen into the X-Air aircraft. If
the aircraft is already built you will need to
support the engine and the front part of the
aircraft frame by a winch or cable to the roof
otherwise you will do damage and bend everything.
You then need to remove the engine support tubes
which go up to the front of the engine, you also
need to remove the main down tube which can be a
problem if you don't remove the front pod but it
is possible. You then remove the old windscreen,
use it as a template for a new windscreen and I
recommend using 2 mm, the standard lexan is 1.5 mm
and you will benefit from additional strength
having a 2 mm lexan windscreen. The other
important consideration is much of the lexan comes
UV stabilised, this means has a special coating on
one side which must point towards the sun so
please make sure when you are making your new
windscreen that you have the correct side pointing
to the sun otherwise you will end up with
premature failure. Fitting
the one-piece windscreen is no harder than fitting
a normal windscreen but it is a lot more difficult
when the aircraft is already built rather than
when you are assembling it the first time from the
kit. Take your time, keep your hands clean and
definitely away from any solvents like
petrol/gasoline, make sure any fuel lines that
have been disconnected do not leak fuel anywhere
and you will end up with a really good result.

Is it possible to put a one piece windshield on
an XAir standard. If so I would appreciate any
suggestions and information. Thanks
