LAK17A Canopy Support Tube
I was inspecting/adjusting my canopy this week and discovered that the canopy support tube (main shaft that connects canopy to fuselage in the nose) has a severe crack at the base. I was wondering if anyone is aware of another LAK17A (salvaged) that I might be able to find a replacement tube. I've searched AIG and no luck so far. I'm also considering taking the tube to a welding shop to see if repairable? Any thoughts from other LAK owners?
Thanks! Jim |

Wow, serious crack approaching faulure.
I would take it to a welding facility that is proficient in aircraft tubing repairs and documentation. It will most likely require some splicing and section of tube replacement. |

Yeah, LAK is pretty good with parts...........bet that was caused by a gust of wind hitting an open canopy?
