Default Schweizer 1-35 canopy

I had to replace my canopy three years ago due to a wind gust that slammed
it down with resultant damage. Fortunately, I have insurance. Cost was
covered, Thermotec created and installed the new canopy (note: you'll want
to take the fuselage on site so the canopy/frame can be properly fitted-)
and very pleased with the results. Dark canopy, outstanding clarity, very
nice.... Hopefully Ray at Thermotec has a new mold available.

Hi all, I'm looking for a 1-35 canopy and/or canopy frame...


Please post and let us know what you end up doing. There are others of us
that may be in the same boat in the future, what with flying an aging
glider. I read on the 1-35 website that thermotec had lost the mold they
had been using for 1-35 canopies. They may have other ways of making one,
though.
