Thank you Dave. I do not have the time either now that you mention it. I am not really concerned about not having the time because that is the type of problem that my mind can solve. I have resolved the problem of finding a canopy. The way I resolved it is, I found and purchased a new in the box great planes super sportster 40. I am sure this kit I purchased is 30 years old but the balsa is fresh as a daisy. I have come to realize that if you were to label me, I would be called an old school modeler.
