Ian Linke at  [EMAIL PROTECTED]  will be able to answer you in extreme detail.       -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Allan Armistead Sent: Saturday, 6 August 2005 5:06 PM To: Discussion of issues relating to Soaring in Australia. Subject: [Aus-soaring] Canopy material   We are having a speaker in a few weeks at one of our pilot's nights, a radiation oncology dr who treats (amongst other things) skin cancers. The theme of the discussion is, not surprisingly, the risks we run because of our exposure to the sun.   She has asked me what our canopies are made of, and of course all I know is "perspex". But if I can get a more definitive description, then she is able to find out from the biomedical people a bit more info about the UV transmission properties of the material.   So my question - can anyone tell me what the actual material is...   Allan Armistead ph (02) 6249 6470, fax (02) 6249 6555, mobile 0413 013 911 PO Box 908, Dickson ACT 2602, Australia "When once you have tasted flight, you will always walk with your eyes turned skyward, for there you have been and there you always will be."
