If I had Plans I could make a Canopy and a Glass cowl. A Canopy is not that difficult to make . Sand the plug and put in a clear
PETG 2 liter bottle and stick it in the oven.......Trim to remove. But with no plans , no canopy. I have Jack Albrechts frpm the now defunct RCM plans.

Hi Chad!!
Blown up to 68-72'', is the KI-61Jr going to have enough formers/structure to be sound (in the wings especially) ? Also, what flies well in one size doesn't always do well as significantly larger size without some modification of other things as well.
What did you use for plans on your scratch built Tony? As I recall it's in the 6' range isn't it? Done a canopy yet.......or paint?

I have traced all the parts for the bear cat and will upload tomorrow,
on another note I just calculated my current investment into my royal b-17 to be $885!!!!!! And it isn't even built!!!!!
os 20 fs $75
os 20 fs $130
os 20 fs $130
os 20 fs $110
4 rebuild kits $100
kit plus shipping $220 was missing wing ribs
foam wing and horizontal stab from Eureka aircraft plus shipping $120!!!!
WOW this doesn't include 3 packs of zpoxy finishing resin, extra wood sheeting, 4 hs 81 micro servo's and 4 or 5 packs of glass cloth!
there are some interesting ads for crash insurance, I think I'll look into it, about to build very soon!

I have about $1100.00 in mine and that does not include buying the original junk pile with engines that I practicaly gave away! Mine has flaps and bullet proof Robart air retracts, and the late great OS .15CV's. They were $115. each. If your going to spend a lot of time on a model why not put some quality components in it? This model was already about 20 years old. I plan on keeping it operational another 20 or so....
