I've searched the internet for you Ray, but even the designer does not list mouldings, Is he still around? Does he offer any support for his designs? Or is it an ancient plan he no longer does? I know you have been searching for. While, Time you gave phil Clarke a bell, and get one moulded

Thank you Alan,Bob Holman has the original wooden plug which is now unusable.So no joy there.No one seems to be building these big mammoth scale spads any more. Shame. Thanks Ray

Ray, I talked to Bob Holman on the 1st. of June and he said that it would or could be two to three weeks before he has an answer for anybody needing a canopy. I don't think Ziroli canopy would fit. If I here anything in the way of canopies for your bird, I'll pass it along. There are always other means of getting a new canopy. How far along are you on the rebuild? I saw the photos you posted awhile back. I hope you get it airbourn soon. There's a guy in Minnesota that has one flying at 74 pounds. Yea, he got a big engine, but hey, it flys. Good luck dud. Please put up more pictures. Nick.
