Perspex is clear plastic. There are various grades quite often used for
windows. The kit is supplied with an aircraft grade for the doors and
windscreen. You can get general perpous stuff, I used 2-3 mm, from DIY or
hobby stores.
The one I made is similare to the handbook, two support pillers for the
pivot and I did away with the swinging arm at one end i.e a simple see-saw
with one arm longer than the other to give the ratio needed, 4-1 for Ampreg
and 2-1 for Redux.. I put two platforms at the cup positions with targets on
them to make it easy to centre the cups.
