Count me in group 3 anytime!!! Your exactly right CK. The nice thing is there are more people in this group, so who cares about what a few will always say. That canopy is right on where it should be, we are not talking about a stand off scale replica, which cost big $$$$ not to mention the months or years to build. Heres another one, not to offend anyone, but I am not a big fan of fiberglass cowls. Either they are too heavy or they are too thin and weak and crack prone. Many flyers I know are on their 2nd or 3rd or repaired fiberglass cowls, while mine looks as good as it was on day one, well almost! It always takes time to accept new realities, and fiberglass is a product of the 60s, while stronger and lighter engineering plastics are light years ahead in terms of strength and durability [8D]
