There is lots to not like about the original kit supplied canopy! I got side tracked by the tail wheel project, but I have been working on the plug for the scale canopy. If you can wait just a little bit more, like through this weekend then I should have them ready. I have to fill the plaster in order to pull clear canopies, so it's matter of the filler drying mainly. I'll keep you all posted on my progress. So yes, if you can wait you can get one from me.
Luke - I'm not in that big of a hurry....probably a couple-three weeks away...just name your price and/or number of limbs...
lol! yea right! Not to worry, I can finance! ha! Seriously I have made some great progress and the canopy will be ready to go shortly.
No one asked if my tail wheel had a lock when extended, I can tell no one is paying attention to this, but maybe someone will use the info. Dave Platt had his Zero's tail sitting on the ground when the air pressure bled off, but not mine! I simply moved the locking mechanism under the cockpit. I was moving the elevator servo anyway because I'm trying to get as deep a cockpit as I can, so it worked out great for the scale retractable tail wheel.
The pictures are pretty self explanatory, and it works great, without air in the cylinder the tail wheel stays extended and I can move the plane around without it collapsing.
