Hello Mike, you might be surprised . . . my kits Inst. told how to carve a balsa block into a canopy, but included a vacuformed clear canopy . . . see what I mean about not up to date info. That was one thing that was not current in the Inst. of my kit that was OK by me. I really think that my kit will end up being something that I'll be able to take pride in at the field . . . as soon as I get done with it . . . someday soon I hope. I hope you enojoy your kit and will keep in touch on how it's going.
