I'm building an RV-12 and it's about time to install the turtledeck and rear window. The plans call for a #27 Plexiglass drill bit to enlarge the holes on the Lexan rear window. Trouble is, I can't find a source for the #27 plexi drill bits. I've looked at Aircraft Spruce and Cleaveland Aircraft Tools and Amazon (of course).
Any suggestions on where I can source #27 drill bits for plexi/acrylic?
A 27 gage drill bit is 0.144 inches. If I have to resort to a fractional sized plexi bit, what size(s) do you recommend? 1/8" is too small, 5/32" is too bit. Spruce has them in 1/8, 5/32, and 3/16.
I've never worked on a canopy before. Any techniques or suggestions are also most welcome and appreciated.
