Matt,
My stock finished canopy weighs 5.2 ozs(148 g). Based on the way it is constructed (nice and stiff though), I bet you you could knock out one that might be a bit lighter?
In contrast, my Integral canopy which is very close to the same size and shape is 3.7 ozs.
Joe,
I've molded nearly identical canopies before (Temptress, Impact) and these weighed around 4 ozs, painted in the mold. 5.2 ozs is a little heavy. The original part I used to make the mold weighed around 4 ozs. so yours may just be a heavier part. Hand lay-up tends to be a little variable.
When I pull the first parts from my mold, we'll see where we are weight-wise, and if we can take weight out, we will.
Just weighed the canopy of my model and it was very light, 3.9 ozs.
