I am looking for a Samragd Canopy for my new pattern plane. Does anyone know how to get a hold of one besides going thorugh Central Hobby. Central Hobbies is not quite sure when they are going to get more. If anyone knows of someone here in the US that can make me a canopy, I would be very greatful. Please respond if you can help.

Thanks,
Rob

Hey Robert, Hope to see you at some contests in the upcoming season also. What type of canopy are you needing? I have a large vacuum forming machine that I could pull one with. Do you have a plug? If so, I'd be happy to help you out!!

Hey Todd I am looking for a Canopy Smaragd Canopy. Not quite sure what the dimensions are Todd. But If you remember what Troy Newman plane looks like, that's the canopy I am looking for.
If you can help I would sure appreciate it.

Thanks in advance Todd.

If a Hydeout canopy is good enough for you check piedmont models. They might have a couple left.

I am building an Eclipse from CA models and the canopy right now is fiberglass, however I like to see through my canopy, so I am going to make some adjustment to accomodate that I will need a plastic canopy to cover the fiberglass that attaches to the fuse. I will try Piedmont to see if they have any platic canopy covers left from the hydeout.

Rob,

Did you ever find a Smaragd canopy?

Bob

Hey Bob I never did, So I decided to stay with my fiberglass canopy --- stronger and lighter
