Default I need a canopy

Does anyone have or know where I can get a canopy for my hangar 9 aspire sailplane EP. All I can find on the internet is that it is discontinued. If you have one that you want to sell send me a PM
Thanks

It's one of those things you may have to find something close to it and start cutting? I would use the phone and call FGS Fiberglass Specialties and talk to them about it. They have a bunch of them for different planes and often there is one used for several kits and ARFs. The canopy I have for that Sukhoi 29 is one used on several different plaqnes so it isn't listed but DGS kneew exactly what I needed. It's a chance at least.

If you don't find anything else try using a couple pop bottles and tie them togeather with a strap and make it look like a split canopy.

If you don't like that one build one out of balsa and paint it. ENJOY !!! RED

I got some clear plastic sheets and put them around a rolling pin and used my heat gun and I think that will work. I will just paint the inside black. If it comes out OK I will post a picture, if not I won't.
