The prop is 86" not 92". thus at the manufacturers recommended Redline of 2400RPM, the tip speed would be 0.82 Mach, well within the parameters you were talking about. I also have another phone number for GeeBee Canopies in Puyallup. 253-891-4614.

I've been waiting for 18 months for a pair of TF / D style canopies that he has yet to get right. I'm contracting with a large So. California outfit that does nothing but aircraft glass to get a mold and parts made. I wouldn't waste my time with Glen - nice. He is truly a nice guy but the quality is gone. He free-blows his stuff and that makes for absolutely no consistency. Just a warning.

Is anyone else looking at any of our postings here? This lack of communication is frustrating.

Seldom do I write because I would rather read and learn than write.

Thanks for the reply Cliff. ________________________________ Message 6 _____________________________________ Time: 04:07:56 PM PST US From: PolymerDesign@aol.com Subject: Re: FEWMustang-List: incorrect information --> FEWMustang-List message posted by: PolymerDesign@aol.com Ed, I'm a plastic engineer and wish I had know sooner your problem. You are absolutely right in not using free forming thermoformed acrylic. Only a male or female mold will give proper shape. Any other plastic questions from the 51 forum, I'd be happy to help out. Ken ________________________________ Message 7 _____________________________________ Time: 04:54:33 PM PST US From: LRE2@aol.com Subject: Re: FEWMustang-List: incorrect information --> FEWMustang-List message posted by: LRE2@aol.com Ken G; I should have guessed from your screen name, that you are an expert resource for many of our problems. I am very happy, with my hand blown canopy, but you guys should be aware that this was the third canopy. I ruined the first one, trying to make it fit, the second was unacceptable. I guess I got lucky on the third. I am convinced that the teardrop shape with bulging sides, ALA the Malcolm Hood design is the way to go. How to reproduce them reliably is the problem. Also installing them without damage. My final installation taught me some changes in procedure that I think will save a lot of grief($$$$). If anyone is interested, I will describe the procedure for you.

I guess I should have figured that out by your e-mail address! Kinda proves how important all of this communication stuff really is. Anyway, the company that will be taking on the canopies is Aircraft Windshield in Placentia, CA. I've used them in the past for several race car projects and have always been happy with delivery and quality. We'll see .....

I'm interested in how to replace the canopy. As I'm changing mine. Thanks again.
