We used 3/8in Lexan two years ago and it worked great everything was just velcroed on and it only weighed like 5 pds. Last year we used 1/2in Lexan and put a hinge on it and used velcro but it weight like 12 pds and flipped the wrong way.

Some pointers:
-Use 3/8in Lexan not 1/2in
-Make it one big piece, granted it does take up more space but its lighter and eaiser to handle
-Take all your boxes and joysticks and mark out where they are going to be on the panel, make sure ther driver can reach what he/she needs to reach and make sure the co-pilot can do the same with out crossing arms with anybody.
