| Subject: | canopy gas shock |
Hello Helicat,
I own a Glasair III, and have replaced the gas spring several times. If
you can verify that the two canopies use the same gas spring, I will
send on the part number and ordering info.
Good Luck,
Robert L. Hunter

about where a person can obtain one, or where I would get the
specifications, so that I can try to get one built? I have emailed the
Glasair people twice, and have had no reply, so I am assuming that they
do not sell them. Any help would be appreciated. I am in Canada.
Thanks;

Don't assume that the gas springs are the same for the GIII and the
GI. I can't believe that Glasair Aviation has not responded. They
are usually very responsive. Did you try the address,
parts@glasairaviation.com? Or call their main number and ask for the
Parts Dept. They usually don't answer the phone, but if you leave a
message they will get back to you.
Best Regards,
Steve

The gas shock can be found at marinas and is used on boat hatches. If you
buy it from a marine supplier don't say it is for an aircraft. The reason why
Glasair doesn't sell them is because once the manufacturer found they where
used on A/C, they shut them off.

Shona, the original kits were produced in the early 80's and used a gas
cylinder from Boeing. They were used on the overhead compartment doors of a
discontinued plane. I have had several go bad. Measure the length of the
closed cylinder when the canopy is closed and again the length when it is
open. Auto parts stores sell these for rear hatch's of small cars. They
will likely not have what you need in stock but will have a chart that will
list the specs you need and will special order it. The last time I bought
them, I got the company name off the display and bought online. The minimum
order required me to purchase three gas cylinders. Robin Young 286YM
