DonStegall -> Canopies for Sky Raider Mach II's (5/11/2008 12:57:20 AM)

The canopies for Sky Raider Mach II's are brittle. I've had quite a few get broken. I've got three broken ones on planes now.

I'm thinking about making a mold so I can make fiberglass canopies or getting some clear ones made from good plastic.

Or maybe there is already a good substitute out there. If SIG or someone else has one that is comparable in size, perhaps we should designate it as a "legal" replacement.

I don't want to start down a slippery slope, but I also don't want to pay $6 for a brittle replacement.

What do you guys think?

I am using a Sig replacement on mine. Both of the kit jobs I have didn't last long.

Great idea! Especially since most of us rest the plane on that brittle canopy when we mount / de-mount the wing. My vote would be for CLEAR because of heat...it gets HOT in Texas...(wink)

Another one that is close is the Tower Kaos .40 ARF canopy. It is slightly longer in length.

Later!

If someone will get a part # and submit a proposal to the Club 40 committee, we can discuss it and vote on allowing a replacement canopy.

I don't see a problem getting one (or more) approved. As long as the replacement is the same size or larger, I don't see where it could be considered a "Speed enhancement".

Sorry guys, I tossed the package and the trash can I put it in a few weeks ago. But here is what it looks like anyway.[8D]

Here is a link to the Kaos 40 ARF canopy: http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXEBJ9&P=0 Tower part #: TOWA6014

I have one on my Clone Raider show plane.

I want one BAD!!! other than fleabay I really havent found any. Since I run LA R's I have lots of room.

Tim did you commit to the Q25/424 race at Kingsbury yet?? I told Ken I'd bring you two a box of donuts, to help draw you out. [:D]

I had one in my "Eagle" before the Skyshark junk parts failed and lost it.

Glad you like the pilot.[8D]
AutoZone used to sell them a few years back as antenna toppers. They also sell the sticker for my tail mark. Old Skullyman (the name my kids gave him) has been in a bunch of diffrent planes over the years. He is also a trusted propeller consultant.[sm=bananahead.gif]

That's great Vic, that's why I liked the Revver Bro stickers with the skulls



vicman -> RE: Canopies for Sky Raider Mach II's (5/12/2008 7:51:39 PM)

After looking at those pictures I deserve to be crucified for wiping out so many F-20s[X(]
Dang I love flying those things tho.
