    Re: Doug Royer's Artificial Horizon
    From: Bill B
    Date: 2005 Feb 25, 14:28 -0500

    I use mirrored Plexiglas in the photo studio and on location as reflectors.
    Based on my experience it is pretty flexible stuff, and  a piece one foot x
    one foot is more like a fun house mirror.  Perhaps with no stress on it in a
    much smaller size, it MAY work, but I would go with mirrored glass if
    possible for the rigidity.
