Wanted Any leads on a large canopy 9.5"W x 15"L

Postby stuart knowles 1611 » June 11th, 2020, 5:26 pm

Hi All,

In this extended building season, I find myself in need of a large canopy, nine and half inches wide and a minimum of fifteen inches long (245mm x 375mm) Longer would not be problem.

It's for a 1/3 Bede BD8

A suitably sized canopy from one of the large Cap type aerobatic types might adapt. Can anyone point me in the right direction to locate one??

Regards to all
Stay safe

Hi All,
I have been shown a canopy for a Glens Models Cap 232 of around 90 inch span. The canopy for that is about the right size but it's still attached to a functional model so not available.

Anyone have a similar canopy of a lead as to where I might get one. I take it the Glens Models is now defunct?? I haven't heard anything about them for a few years now

Have you tried phoning Glenn?

I know the website is years out of date (but then it generally was!) but it is still there. He is very helpful and I bought a canopy for a 30% CAP from him a few years ago. The new ones are far less brittle to the point it was posted to me loosely rolled up!

Steve, Chris, Thank you both for the helpful suggestions. I have put in a call to Sarik this afternoon. They are going to look on Monday and get back to me. I had no idea that Glens Models were still on the go so thanks for the tip.
regards
