Default bubble canopies

Back in the good old days, you useta could buy bubble canopies. An exhausting google search has turned out precisely squat. Does anyone make ordinary plain-jane bubble canopies any more? I want one for a Jr. Falcon I'm building, and I'm just lazy enough to want one ready-made rather than vacu-forming my own.

I've got a set of RCM plans for the Hawker Hurri and the Kawasaki Hein. I have no clue how to make my own canopy and I'm not sure i really wanna learn. Is there a source for canopies for these plans?

You can check with Traplet publications and see if any of their accessories are useable. Also, there are a couple guys on eBay that sell canopies for a bunch of the Royal kits. I don't know how good the quality is but if any of those are close to the size of your plans, you could probably order them. Just do a search for Royal from the Radio Control sub-topic of the Toys and Hobbies section.

Here are a couple examples. You might want to contact the seller for your specifics.
