Good Evening fellow RV'ers,
I just made a canopy for an RV3, and it looks quite tall to me. Additionally, it doesn't run straight from top to tail, it has a bit of a dip in it. So, I figured I'd look at some 3's and see what the standard canopy looks like. They're all different! Some have the 'swoop' Like Paul Dye's (beautiful plane BTW) and others run straight from top to back. I can shorten the canopies, I can even take the swoop out. I just need to know what the norm is! Can anyone tell me how tall the plexi portion of a 3 canopy is at the highest point? And swoop or not?
In other news, I bought part of a machine to make drape formed canopies, and plan on making 6/7/9 canopies. Hope to have that going by march of 2018,,, after I finish the 8!
Thanks, Lance
