SI Canopy

[ccranford]

Hi All

Wonder if anyone out there can help me
I had a bit of a mishap that caused damage to my canopy that now requires me to replace same :-[
I contacted Aircraft Spruce after seeing that Sonerai 1 canopies where available in thier catologue
Well it seems that AC Sruce is having trouble contacting the supplier of those canopies, so I may be out of luck there.
Does anyomne know of a reputable supplier that I could contact to have a new canopy blown?
Would sure apprecaite it if someone could point me in the right direction

Some of you have asked for a pic of my machine ....here she is..... hope I did this right......lol

Aircraft Plastics in Dayton Ohio should be able to do it for you. Thats where Spruce gets them. They couldn't get hold of the supplier for me either . I just picked up the phone and called them. Todds Canopies is another supplier.

Yes thats the place, I got the extra big canopy for my stretch. Becky is the lady who will take your order. Jeff owns the place and can help with tech questions. lead time is 4 to 6 weeks. I paid 895 plus shipping for mine about 2 months ago. I'm scared to drill holes in it or cut it !

Wow, that is uber expensive and way more then I paid for mine from Todds Canopy.

Sorry that's not right, it was 795.00 plus shipping. Sometimes my brain fails me.

ccranford was asking about a Sonerai 1 canopy. About half the size of a Sonerai 2 Canopy. I would assume it should be a lot less money. A few years ago I had a Formula one canopy blown by Airplane Plastics, it was less than 300 bucks…..Ed

some years ago, I have bought a KR1 canopy by AS : <$300 (but not yet installed..)
