Getting the Duckworks LE lens to fit the leading edge?

[Andy_RR]

Any tips on how to get the Duckworks leading edge lens to fit well around the inside of the leading edge? My lens is somewhat circular in profile at the leading edge, but my wing is more ellipsoidal, so there's an unsightly gap near the tip of the leading edge unless I press it in firmly, but this closes up the bend angle of the lens inside.

I'm brewing my own lighting using just the DW lens, so I don't have any tips that may have been included in the DW kit.

All hints gratefully recieved!

I used some duct tape and pulled the lens into place while drilling the screw holes:

I did what Mike did execpt that I used strapping tape and I wrapped it sideways rather than up and down like Mike's picture. This is what the DW instructions suggested.

Ah ha! That's clever! I shall give that a try. Thanks for the tip!

The problem with having to pull the lens to get it to fit is that it is the .025" skin that distorts rather than the more rigid acrylic lens----------
