I blew the canopy off my Shockjet.... My poor little pilot with his head stuck out in the breeze....I'm feeling a little sorry for him and may have to move him over to the Eurosport. I've dropped Troybuilt a note... But has anyone had to replace this with something... I don't know if you've noticed..but even a well stocked hobby shop has about "0" inventory any more for a builder... You've got glue and a stack of balsa.. But replacement canopies and things like that are
getting hard to find in the ARF era...

sig and tower have some canopies.

Bill,
Sig will be your best bet on that. I had one getting lose on mine so took it off and cleaned all the mystery glue off. Made a new backing plate the shape of the canopy foot and glued it to the inside of the hatch area. I then put 8, 2-56 blind-nuts with button allen screws in the mix. The screws I used are like the ones some use to hold a car body on with.

Put a spike on top of the pilot's helmet, a scarf around his neck and some black crosses on the wings and you don't NEED a canopy.

That and get the bugs out of his teeth !!!! Good to go !!
