You are right again. *We need only the rear part!

I will get more informations from the dealer..

Our Jantar is a SZD48-1 Standard 2
Once again, the best way is to find out there a used canopy
in pretty good condition..

So, lurking on the newgroup, I learn about the MecaPlex
company. *They seems to be the best place to get a

But I think it will not be available that way. So I post here to

know
if anybody have very good condition Jantar canopy used, to sell..?


Since it's a Std 2, now you should specify whether you need the front,
rear, or both sections since it's a 2 piece'r... *There is a canopy
part that may be able to be fit for the rear section on wings & wheels
if you scroll down the page some...

I know where a good canopy mounted to a frame for a Std 3 is should
you want to upgrade to a single piece canopy (there's already a few
2's out there with this conversion), although that's a 337 surgery as
opposed to mere maintenance... *it sure is a nice view though!

FWIW, the seller of that canopy recently owned a Jantar Std 2.
