I too entertained thoughts of making my own canopy. What got me off of that idea was Don Reid's comment "the best thing I can say about the many attempts to make my own canopy is that I never completely suceeded in burning my house down in the process", or something to that affect. If you're going to buy a canopy, I recommend the Dragonfly. It's cheaper and thinner (and lighter) than an RR, easily shaped, and already wide enough to allow widening the fuselage.

Did 1.3 hours yesterday, 7 takeoffs and landings, three at "night". Two were so slow the tailwheel hit first, not that it appears to matter much. It has just recently dawned on me that I am finally living the dream of driving to the airport, rolling it out, firing it up, and having a blast! My own personal time machine has finally arrived! There IS a light at the end of the tunnel... Mark Langford, Huntsville, Alabama see KR2S project N56ML at http://home.hiwaay.net/~langford email to N56ML "at" hiwaay.net
