Default 1-35 Canopy

Hi all,

From Les and Kyle Schweizer's rather sparse website here is some
contact info:



607-594-3329

The website is
http://www.klsoaring.com/. Les has retired from
Schweizer, has obtained all the Schweizer glider TC's from the
company, and is in business supporting Schweizer gliders. The sad
story on the 1-35 canopy is that the original molds are lost or
destroyed. I'd recommend talking to Les about the canopy anyway.
Kyle had mentioned that they were considering getting a 1-35 mold done
again, perhaps if there is interest it would happen quicker. I'm
hoping to see the 1-35 canopy available again, as I just bought a
1-35C. Doesn't need a canopy now, but I'd feel better knowing I could
get one.

Schweizer pulls their own canopies, in general. I thought they made
their own 1-35 canopies too, though I can't swear to this. If they
weren't making their own, they wouldn't have lost the mold.
