Matt,
I was thinking about your repairs and you mentioned that you dread remaking
the windscreen frame. As you remove the old windscreen you will destroy
it. I'm assuming the aft portion of your canopy is okay.
I have a canopy you can have that you'll be able to use for the windscreen
replacement. It is my original canopy which I cracked during trimming.
The vertical crack is midway aft on the canopy.
I can send photos if you're interested. If you'd like it let me know and
I'll arrange for shipping. Just pay the shipping and it's yours. I'll
make a crate of some type to protect it.
It is an untinted original Van's canopy that is already trimmed to fit. I
suspect it will drop onto your fuselage perfectly.
I've been saving the canopy just in case someone needed only a windscreen
portion.
Regards,
Stan Sutterfield

Glen,
I prefer Sam Adams. But I can consume anything.
Say, where are you located - seems like CO? Anyway, next time I have an
overnight near you I'll get a car and drive over for a soft drink. We'll
save the adult beverage for a nondriving time.
Stan

Hi Stan,
Thank you very much for the kind offer! However, I already got a replacement full
canopy when I ordered the replacement parts for the rebuild. The sliding
part looks good, but there were a few things about it that I would have done
differently. Since I had to buy a full new Plexiglass canopy anyway for the
replacement windscreen, I decided to just take the opportunity to redo the sliding
part too from scratch. I bought a new frame and fiberglass skirts too. If
you want to build a grand champion, its got to be perfect! :-)
Thank you again for the offer!
Matt
