Default Boomerang Elan Canopy

I am hoping somebody out there has the plastic canopy for
a Boomerang Elan.
The one on the plane is the clear one but I will take any one somebody
may have.
Go figure I went to First in Flight took a bunch of flights no problem.
Went flying today at my home field PARCS at FBF Brooklyn NY
and had an encounter with a bird and it didn't go well for both of us
it was a mess!
I left a message with Larry who is starting up boomerang again
but am reaching out to all RCU members hoping to get lucky.
Thank You

Do a search on RCU, others have used the COMP ARF Flash canopy for the Elan and the COMP ARF Ultra Lightning Canopy for the XL / Torus, in the end you get a better looking canopy.

The CArF canopy will be much better quality as well. mine imploded on high speed pass and ripped the entire hatch off. The plastic used was reaaly cheap and brittle. Larry says he will improve this on the new kits but I think the CaARF option might be better.

DreamWorks might still have some canopies, give them a call.

Thanks for the info.
What canopy from what plane at CArF?
Not seeing flash canopy fitting on Élan.
Did search couldn't find thread.
Larry contacted me and was very helpful.
