Default RE: Reaction 54 Jet Kit

Thanks Eddie - the idea came from you! The front half of the canopy is just clear plastic sheet, the rear half is most of a Sig 15" bubble canopy. I made the formers from 1/4" aircraft grade ply. The framing is 1/64" ply.

The grass is a little too dry at the moment for aiming a blowtorch at it (as you can see from the photo's) so I haven't flown it in the new configuration. I expect that the increased side area will aid knife edge, but we'll see after (if) we get any rain here.
