Default RE: The new Tornado sport jet


ORIGINAL: Dblex

Show us your Canopy MODS!!
Here's how I did mine. I tried to use the KISS principle. First I glued the pilot and tub with goop, then measured, and re measured to make sure of where I wanted everything to go. Hysol'd a piece of ply to the front. Cut a slot in the rear, hysol'd a BVM canopy latch. And voila! .... Super easy, strong, and bullet proof;-)

BTW... sorry about the glue job. It's not pretty but does the job and you don't see it anyway.
