... Also Nomex and helmets and gloves are all good stuff.
Bird strikes are deadly in fast homebuilts with thin plexiglass windows.
The window on the 757 I fly has multi-panes and very thick. The 250 kts limit
below 10,000 feet is in part for bird strike. I had one and it shattered the
windscreen. It happened at 9,000 feet! It held. So I expect to see you with
a helmet and eye protection and a nomex flight suite going fast Dave.

Don't rush on the Nomex. In a hot summer cockpit it can lead to
dehydration and reduced pilot performance. I fear that more than I fear
a fire in the cockpit. Without someone shooting at me fire in the
cockpit is a lot less likely that pilot-induced stupidity.
