Does anyone know where a good quality canopy can be made locally out of Lexan or Nalex? Need it for a Waaiex. It is the rear bubble part. It would have to be formed.

Friend of mine is building a plane here in Cape town and he has just had one made for his plane.
I will try get the details and PM them on to you.

Thanks. I bought the Naxel from Maisey's plastics and cut the windshield from that. Much better than perspex but still has a bit of wave when looked through obliquely. Not as good as the American product but locally obtainable :)
