  • sky-lights

    Any information on sky-lights? Evidently in my plane's past there was light from above...not a trace that I can find now, just somewhat of a saggy head-liner.

    Steve- I have several drawings and old 337's for the skylight installation.

    Flying is easy- to go up you pull back, to go down you pull back a little farther.

      Skylight

      I have a 337 copy of a skylight design from Ron Hoffmeyer.It is his own design and looks really good.If anyone is a member of the Vintage Aircraft Assoc. then you probably seen his T-craft on the cover of the June 2003 issue.His,like mine,was also destroyed in a fire before he restored it,it is a beautiful airplane.My hats off to you Ron,great job!!

        Hi Kevin,
        I would appreciate it if I could get a copy of the skylight 337. Please let me know what I need to do.

        Thanks,

                  skylights

                  My plane (N43294) was parked in row 73 or 76 or something like that at OSH last summer, it is yellow/teal. I have complete skylights and side glass all the way back, about 18 inches past the bag compartment. I think I have photocopies of the 337 for that job when it was installed in about '74 or so. I will try to dig it up and maybe get some photos (snow permitting).

                  It really brightens up the inside with the overhead skylight. I recommend using tinted lexan though on the top because it can be a little TOO bright!

                    Being a long time L-2er I found that you either wore a hat or used tinted lexan. I have used both gray and green tint. It really helps.

                        I have several sunlight "frames" which follow the tubing lines. They are made of sheet aluminum, with a trapazoid window cut out. I'll post some pics and look for the 337's amongst the piles of paperwork.
