Default RE: Need source for canopy for Curare

I ordered all the plans Eureka had but not sure what I will get until it all arrives. This will be my first attempt at scratch building, which is about what Eureka sells. He just cuts out the main pieces and up to you to try to read plans and glue together and dig up everything else like canopey or at least that is what I understand. Have build numerous regular kit planes, never a scratch. I'm not much on electric; to stupid to understand all the jargon with electricity so will stay with nitro. Besides like the sound and smell of burning nitro. Im either going with Robarts or Spring airs. I have a set of spring air for new Chaos to replace old leaky Rhom. If I like them I'll go another set for Curare. Sounds like you went with the foam wing route. Im going the built up. He's drilling ribs for wing jig. Tried foam a couple of times but have to have my son haul over all his slate and extra weight to sheet. Just more trouble then it is worth for stupid me. Can't teach old dogs new tricks.
