An evil gust of wind totalled a Canopy for one of the LVVSA member's

You might trywww.toddscanopies.comif you can't find an original or
molded copy. *He's done a few gliders and claims to be able to do most
if you provide the canopy frame.

I contacted Todd, and he can likely make a new canopy. In my search,
I ran across a 1-35 page, and several references to Thermo Tec having
made 1-35 canopies in the past. I think another club member already
contacted Thermo Tec and got a negative from them. Drat!

Just be aware that Todd's canopies are blown, not molded, so it won't
look quite the same. There is also the interesting question of what
sort of paper work is required to use a non-certified canopy on a type
certified aircraft.
