Default RE: Need source for canopy for Curare

Good to hear it is progressing. This week I finished the tailplane halves and mounted the retracts in the wing and the flap and aileron servos in their little cut outs covered with a ply/balsa sandwich hatch. It takes forever but looks very neat with just the control horn poking through.

Not too much left - join the wings, add the mounting dowel and bolts, finish the canopy (as and when I get one!), fit some ply for the battery holder and the receiver and rudder servo mount (above the wing) - and that will be about it apart from a marathon sanding effort.

It all takes forever and I really only have time for about 8 hours a week on it, but it is looking more like an airplane every day!

BTW: Did you glass the join of the tailplane halves?
