L Spatz Canopy
Hello
I know it is a long shot, does any one out there have a L-Spatz canopy? or know were there may be one on a damaged airframe? or some one that could manufacture one? If there are small crachs that is fine although I would prefer one with no cracks. Regards |

For modern sailplanes where the profile match to the fuselage is critical for aerodynamics and aesthetics, I'd order from whoever has the factory tooling or its equivalent. A free-blown canopy can get you into the ballpark, but I rarely see a good profile match on those. Thanks, Bob K. |
