Aurora 45 Canopy & Cowl Buy?
First, I just received my Aurora 45 plans today from Chris. They look fantastic, very nicely detailed and drawn. Many thanks to Chris for the volunteer work to copy and ship them.
Second, man is this thing BIG! 62" span, 667sqin, 56" long, target weight 6.5lb. That's as big as many of the 70's "60" sized planes. So it won't be getting a 45, it will be getting a 60 or 90, maybe on a pipe. Did someone say BALLISTIC Pattern?
Now to the point... I need to buy a canopy and cowl for this beast. The only source I know of is Singapore Hobby. Great shop, but shipping is painful. So, of the other 10 or so plans buyers out there, who wants to do a bulk canopy/cowl purchase to minimize shipping costs? I will be e-mailing SH tomorrow to see what they have left for stock and I will post that here for any interested parties. I will gladly receive the entire shipment here and re-package and forward them at cost to the other buyers. Paypal accepted on my end, with the 3% added on the total.
Thanks,
Mark
