Matthias W's A320 Glare Assembly

Building in your head is one thing, Getting the thoughts and approaches out and into reality is another thing entirely! MW's approach on the Glare construction using the NOVA parts is excellent insight into making this section with a great deal of structural integrity.

The Glare structure is built from various thicknesses of Medium density Fibreboard (MDF). The metal parts are "Standoffs" and align the Nova glare parts correctly as well as add strength.

MW mounts the Plexi backer panels to the standoffs, then the NOVA panels. One of the clear advantages in this approach is the incredible amount of space in behind the panels. This becomes a huge factor later when hardware goes in and things need to get wired!

The FCU and EFIS panels are now in place and the top section can be started.

Matthias adds some angle brackets to the assembly for bolting down the Glare Top Pieces.

Matthias took the time to saw numerous cutouts into the bottom section of the Glare top. This is a very clever way to get the top plate to form correctly to that unique A320 Glare shape. Pretty clever!

Once cut and ready the top Glare Plate is painted dark blue.

The glare section is test fitted on top of the main structure. Very clean work.

Very special thank you to Matthias for his construction insight! Very inspirational!
