Default suggestions...

Take the canopy and toss it in the trash can.....

Call Bruce Tharpe and get a canopy for a Venture 60. It's lower profile (similar to an extra) is much nicer imho. There's links to contact him at www.venture60.com

As for mods...here's what I did.

1. Rudder - added a tapered extension 1" at the top down
to 2" at the bottom.

2. Shorten the wing by one bay each side.

3. Sheet the leading edge to first spar if you fly off a grass
field to prevent lots of holes in your covering.

4. Order some wheel pants - I got a set from a Venture 60 while
I was ordering the canopy. Again, looks nicer in my opinion.


It's a blast to fly...you'll surely love it.

Best,
Harold
