Brief Description:  canopy mold 1

When I purchased the windows from Aircraft plastics , I did not get the canopy windows . The mold had failed - big blister in the side causing the plex to deform and cause an optical blur or ripple.
Jeff at the time said minimum 6 months befor he could make them. Last week or so when I returned the windscreen for reshaping Jeff advised the mold had not been repaired and that he could not forsee it happinig . He just dosnt sell enough barracuda canopies or T-18 s to justify spending the money. He suggested try7ing to make something else work or make my own "rig" .
So its mold making time !

Origionally I was going to make two molds one for each side , problem with that is it would require two 4 foot by 4 foot pcs of glass to make the canopies and would generate a large amount of waste and therefore money. So I decided on one piece mold and will order a 32" by 72 inch peice of 1/4 plex .

Layed canopy frames on ply squared them up and added 3/4 inch to center
