Im trying to find a canopy for a Miss Norway. This is a pattern plane from RCM plans that I have wanted to build for years and finally have time to do it. Does anyone have a canopy or know where I can get one?

From what I remember the canopy on the Miss Norway was quite large. Then again it was 1981 when I owned one LOL. I got mine second hand from my dad who had painted it with K-mart Lacquer paints over silkspan and dope. I ended up making a new canopy out of a couple 1/2" balsa sheets and then recovered the whole airplane in Monokote. It flew much better at 7.5 lbs and a brand new Webra speed .61.

Miss Norway Mk IV in original color below, I would think 1977-1978 or so. Probably a Rossi 60 or 61 with pipe (at least the pipe seems to be a Rossi pipe). Such original green canopy would be nice. The plane in the picture is Ernst Totland's plane (LN-172 was his Norwegian registration number). Seems he used a Bartels glasfibre prop also.

There was also a version with a belly mounted inclosed pipe. Any info on this model? Flown at 1977 World Champs.

sorry the extra set of plans are the same version, a lot cleaner than the set in the kit though.

The Mk IV appears to have a higher engine wing and Horizontal stabilizer than the Mk II. Can anyone share info on the design changes? I too would like to see a Mk IV or newer plan.

Hi, sorry for the delay. tool is finished, I have not pulled any yet. I will try to get to it this weekend. what thickness do you need. .030 is about what is in the kit I have .030 ,.040 ,and .060

DJH

.030 or .040 would be good Im in no hurry Just getting started on this project and was currious about the canopies

Canopy. Plan calls for 0.5mm = 0.019685 (rounded = .020 ~ 20 thousandths) to be made with butyrate or similar plastic. So .030 should work well.
