Windshield material

What material do you suggest for making a windshield? I have a kit and it is missing the clear windshield, needs to be curved some when installing.

You may wish to try a sheet of acetate- kind of expensive if you only need a small piece- but very good material. Acetate is very flexible can be bent around curves.

Butyrate sheet works as well as acetate, and it withstands exposure to glow fuel better. Sig sells it.
