[NSRCA-discussion] El Nino canopy

[Mark Hunt]

I have seen mild success by using the original canopy as a sort of mold....wax the inside surface then glass it....hopefully it can then be popped out......will certainly have a few pinholes....  I saw this actually work quite well to replicate canopies for a widebody 60.....the glass ones were light too.

  Tape it on the inside with clear scotch tape to close the crack and use canopy glue on the outside. It dries clear. This would be temporory 'till you can get another. You might want to leave the tape inside.

    I just came home with my new El Nino Saturday.  Today I had the canopy off and was nosing around the inside checking out the setup.

    I leaned over the bench and heard a crack, I had just leaned on the canopy and put a 4 inch crack in it, lengthways on the top.  

    The question I have is, is there a good way to repair it, without using thin CA, because of the fogging that CA will cause?

    Or does anybody have a canopy that they would be willing to part with?

    TIA,

    Ken
