RE: Sliding canopy (how do you do it)
I had the Sig kit years ago and loved the plane. It was a "B" witch to build though. I ordered the short kit from Laser Design Services. It is a Dick Van Morick (spelling) design and looks to be relatively easy to build. 20% scale, so 83 inch wing. After I get my ducks in a row I may just post a few pics of the build. First I have a CAP rebuild and finish up an old Sig Mustang 450 F1 pylon racer.
I assumed one of the tracks was in the fin strake. The other two could be located about anywhere as long as they allowed the canopy to move properly. I think a simple latch can be made to lock it closed.
Thanks Again!!
