Has anyone taken an M100 windscreen out intact? I'm planning on using a lump hammer to remove it but of course I'd prefer not to destroy anything and the screen is fine.
Cheers,
Phil

Didn't DaveT realise he could have removed the windscreen in one piece after using a sledgehammer?

As I recall the windscreen already had a crack in it.

It might be a bit big for my oven.
I know they are bonded on but I don't know what with.

another thought..
You could use a heat gun and a stainless steel bond cutting wire...
The wires are about a tenner..

Heat the windscreen up with the gun and slice from the inside? You might be on to something there Mr Speck!

Not a bell HT4, or is that a polymer, Merlin front glass? Hmmm composite aircraft.

Phil, if you need to borrow a high power heat gun let me know.
