Light Aircraft Association

Does Anyone know of any company or member willing to give advice on drape moulding of perspexs.
I am having a few teething problems and would welcome any advice or even pay for suitable assistance or a complete job.

thanks

Gary

Here's a bit of light reading which might help if you do decide on a
DIY canopy

Good Luck

There was a brilliant thread on blowing perspex canopies on the old PFA bulletin board, if you can find it...

The article in a PFA mag gave a very good description of how the canopy was made (for a Corby Starlet) and the method detailed therein is worthy of a LAA course I would think.

The old PFA forums are still accessible here and the search facility still works.

If you need to browse the forums, don't forget to change the "Show topics from the last 45 days"

Hi everyone,

Thanks to everyone who has replied to me regards perspex moulding all very interesting.

thanks

Gary
