Default phoenix super decathlon canopy

Well, the plane is flying very well. After I got back from the field yesterday I decided to smooth out a wrinkle in the coating near the firewall on the left side of the fuselage. I used an old hiar dryer that was in the basement. It worked well smoothing out the wrinkle. After putting the dryer away I walked back over to the work table and noticed that the heat from dryer had warped the canopy! I recall reading about a crash of a SD on the build thread here. Was wondrering if the person still had he remains. If so. please send me a PM and I'll make an offer. Looks like the only way to get a new canopy is to order the entire Fuselage assembly.
