Kent Ashton Posted July 10, 2017 Share Posted July 10, 2017 (edited) You might try this place. www.airplaneplastics.com It doesn't look too hard to free-blow one. I've not tried it myself but collected info. A pretty simple oven made with kitchen stove elements. See the ones here http://aerobikeenclosedmotorcycle.blogspot.com/2012/01/jan-2012-article.html http://www.wisil.recumbents.com/wisil/bubbles/hpvbubbles.htm http://users.xplornet.com/~macmaz/canopy.htm Time or money, take your pic. :-) Ah, here 's one in Oz http://www.autospeed.com/cms/article.html?&title=Custom-Bubble-Canopies&A=113285 Edited July 10, 2017 by Kent Ashton Quote -KentCozy IV N13AM-750 hrs, Long-EZ-85 hrs and sold Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TMann Posted July 11, 2017 Share Posted July 11, 2017 I talked with a aircraft designer/builder to insure that these are the guys that he uses and they are They were the other source besides Todd's Canopies available for our Canard aircraft. Now that we've lost Todd, this is about the only other option. Delegate this one. Trying to make your own is a fool's errand. You'll spend way more and may never have a useable canopy.

Art Pollard Posted January 10, 2022 Share Posted January 10, 2022 Is Aero Canopy Real? Here is what it says on their "About" Page: In 2023, Jon Doe had a vision for a Aerospace Engineering Firm that would bring innovation into our lives in a way that no other company had done before. This dream came true when AeroCanopy was established that same year. Since then, we’ve worked on many projects with the single goal of providing innovative engineering solutions. You might notice there are a couple issues here that raise serious questions. Additionally, it looks like the photos in their store were obtained from a variety of places.
