ssuming 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
eplacement. It is my original canopy which I cracked during trimming. The
ertical 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
rrange for shipping. Just pay the shipping and it's yours. I'll make a cr

f some type to protect it.
It is an untinted original Van's canopy that is already trimmed to fit. I
uspect it will drop onto your fuselage perfectly.
I've been saving the canopy just in case someone needed only a windscreen
ortion.

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

Alrighty, since Matt doesn't need my canopy, the offer is open to anyone
who has a damaged windscreen or needs an 8 windscreen for some reason.
See info below.

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.
