I've thought about several possibilities for both canopies. The front canopy may be flat plastic that is simply wrapped over the tubular framework. If it's hinged up along the middle of the top, it could be held up flat to the underside of the wing while the pax climbs in, then the bottom latched in place or a hinge pin slipped in if it's a piano hinge. The rear canopy is more baffling. As Bill observes, there is clearly a notch in the aft edge to allow it to slide part-way over the antenna. If the lower edges of the canopy are on drawer-slide type tracks, it could slide back enough to allow entry, but I don't think that notch would allow it to go back very far over the antenna. Currently registered to George Lockhart in Pugwash, Nova Scotia... apparently with a beautiful view across Northumberland Strait to Prince Edward Island. Probably need an engine warmer up there ;o) -------- Oscar Zuniga Medford, OR Air Camper NX41CC "Scout" A75 power, 72x36 Culver prop Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=464419#464419 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Other Matronics Email List Services ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Post A New Message pietenpol-list@matronics.com UN/SUBSCRIBE http://www.matronics.com/subscription List FAQ http://www.matronics.com/FAQ/Pietenpol-List.htm Web Forum Interface To Lists http://forums.matronics.com Matronics List Wiki http://wiki.matronics.com Full Archive Search Engine http://www.matronics.com/search 7-Day List Browse http://www.matronics.com/browse/pietenpol-list Browse Digests http://www.matronics.com/digest/pietenpol-list Browse Other Lists http://www.matronics.com/browse Live Online Chat! http://www.matronics.com/chat Archive Downloading http://www.matronics.com/archives Photo Share http://www.matronics.com/photoshare Other Email Lists http://www.matronics.com/emaillists Contributions http://www.matronics.com/contribution ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- These Email List Services are sponsored solely by Matronics and through the generous Contributions of its members.
