Apparently the firm is no longer in existence. Anyone know a source?


Clear vision as in for wave flying? The simplest goal is merely an insulating
airspace...although decent vision would also be nice for the lower-level
operations. :-)

Any clear semi-rigid (yet flexible) plastic attached inside the canopy with
(say) double-sided foam tape would likely serve. Tape removal would likely be
the larger issue in the long run.

Years ago I seem to remember using lexan bonded on with some black
'silicone-like' caulking compound. Undoubtedly, better attachment options have
been developed.
