Ahh... seems like I can post today - nice feature!

Written yesterday but posted today.

Rick,

err... that'd be the one! At least it sure looks like it.

In the original plan the dorsal keel part of the fin extends underneath the canopy while the canopy is probably slotted in the rear to allow the keel to pass. This likely results in a better transition.

In my plan, I drew the canopy and the keel to mate so that the keel is longer and the canopy correspondingly shorter. My canopy is 17.5" but the keel is longer. Either approach results in the same side planform.

If this is indeed the Wing Mfg. Canopy, that would provide the option for builders who want to either finish with a clear canopy or don't want to produce one from the ply/foam in the kit (as with the DB40).

Good find!

P.S. I was able to pull a larger photo off the site. That IS the Wing Mfg so called "Sport" canopy.
