RE: Sig Somethin Extra Help! Canopy
I have made them from cutting a piece out of a clear soda bottle. lots of people sell canopies, especially sig. sig makes a nice bubble canopy series in different sizes that would look less dorky than the typical fourstar canopy. if you get the fourstar canopy try turning it around backwards and trimming it to fit, many people think this looks cooler .

Call SIG, they have SE plans and canopy for about $18.00
Has the hatch cover been built that the canopy glues to ?
Use just one tube and rear torque dowel. Make sure the tubes you have fit snug into the cardboard tubes.
I hope the cardboard outer tubes have been installed in the wings and fuse. This is not an easy kit if it is your first one.
