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.

Looks real good.... what did you use to make it?

Good looking canopy. I always wanted to be able to Vacu-form plastic parts. Is that how you made it? Looks good to me.

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.

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.
