Default RE: Need source for canopy for Curare

Kevin,

thanks for the kind words. I have to admit the Pico went together quite easily although I did make a couple of small mistakes. But that was the idea, build a small one to know what to watch out for on a bigger one. I'm thinking of putting an electric 6 footer together eventually. The trickiest part is getting the fin right and working the canopy blocks and the tuck lines - a little care is needed. A profile comparator would be handy to have.

Plans for the Tipo are available in abundance off my thread here:

Just choose your scale. There is some good info on that thread so you might want to scan it. I think I've got the Tipo pretty much mapped out in my head so if you have any questions, feel free to drop me a line.

We're all looking forward to seeing Curare's in their colours!

I'm going to have to try Solarfilm one day...

David.

P.S. In other better news, my NOS Multicon's finally arrived! The 72" Tipo now has some gear! It'll be fun to run a 100% electric setup.
