Working on the sliding canopy. I looked to Dynamic Balsa for their canopy rails. Holy Crap!!!! Pretty expensive for what you get!!! I made my own rails including the slider that goes inside. I may be selling duplicate sets of these on RCU if there is an interest.
Some of you may recall that I posted some pictures of a sliding canopy setup for a Ziroli Corsair awhile back.
The details of the mechanism, as well as the piece parts are in the thread and can be found if you do a search on "sliding canopy"......
The brass rails I used were purchased from K&S Brass rectangular stock that I had brought to a local machinist.
He cut a slot down the center of them for $20 per 50 ea.
Dynamic balsa's rails are a bit pricey.
Good luck with the Spit!
