I finished off the aeroscreen this evening using my new bending device for the edges. The aeroscreen is based on the MAC#1 style flyscreen, the reason I made my own is MAC#1 didn't have any screens in stock when I called (probably shouldn't have told them I was building an Indy!)
The screen will stay off until after the IVA test so that I don't need to worry about the screens radii during the test. I have noticed that the centre mirror isn't far enough back to clear the screen so I'll probably put some bends in the mirror's stem when the time comes rather than drill more holes in the scuttle to move it's position.
