Default RE: Another Skymaster Viper

I am finally ready for my maiden. After waiting until now for a replacement canopy BUT after it was installed
the sides still were very easy to push in and deflect! SO I added a simple hoop made out of russian plywood
and painted white. This duplicates what is in a T-45 Goshawk, not scale I know for this plane BUT it added a huge amount
of strength to the canopy sides and this plane is meant to be a fun sport plane not a scale entry! SO... see pics
I also added a neat smoke system with a 32 oz smoke tank... watch for the video soon!!!
