SteveM | 07-Feb-08 04:58 | Waiting for the glue and mask to dry. This is a canopy that I made earlier this evening, it's not perfect but is better than what was provided. |
poppy | 07-Feb-08 08:27 | Wow! It looks great to me. |
Jedi | 07-Feb-08 08:48 | Looks real good.... what did you use to make it? |
sweetwillie | 07-Feb-08 09:06 | Good looking canopy. I always wanted to be able to Vacu-form plastic parts. Is that how you made it? Looks good to me. |
sly812 | 07-Feb-08 11:32 | I would also like to know how you did it, I,m planning a CF 105 avro arrow build from scratch in the near future and need to make a canopy. |
SteveM | 07-Feb-08 13:23 | It doesn't look very clear due to the liquid mask, the real test will be what it looks like after the mask is removed. I made this canopy using the method I describe under the clear plastics section of the little guide that I have written up. When this plane is done I will update the guide with pictures of it and tweak the directions if needed.
The quick version: Pour plaster into the kit canopy to make a mold, fill and sand the plaster mold to remove imperfections that existed in the original, then vacuum form using 0.015" clear plastic. |
