Hi all,

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



607-594-3329

The website ishttp://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.

The owner is trying to contact Les Schweizer. *I called Ray
(Thermotec) and he does have the 1-35 mold. $1300 for tinted, plus the
~ $300 window, plus ~ $300 for boxing and shipping. *I also called
Todd at Todds Canopies. *Blown, not molded, $280 for tinted, container
included, plus shipping.- Hide quoted text -

While SAC was making the 1-35, I think their cost of the
transparancies from Mecaplex was nearly $1000.00 per. Ray makes great
canopies and at $1300.00, it is a very good deal. He made a mold from
a broken Phoebus canopy I sent him and the result was excellent. A
blown canopy would be a last choice if nothing else is available.
