I own a Cr, and I was looking into the possibility of the open canopy
mod. There is a TM available from Schleicher that outlines the process
of building the open canopy. Unfortunately the TM-23 is in German.

The gist of the TM is that you build a canopy frame from the plans
(which are not available in the online version), and you need to close
off the rest of the fuselage when using the open canopy.

Peter, allow me to introduce Rob Buck. Rob... Peter.

Pete, Rob is a long time friend of Burt and has flown at Marfa many
times.

Rob, I helped Peter find his K6 and recently joined him in Marfa for a
week of training and fun with Burt.

I hope you guys can help each other out with this project and I look
forward to sharing a flight, a drink, and a great evening of talk with
you sometime hopefully in Marfa but anywhere will do!

Hi Matt...

Thanks...going to IVSM in Elmira? Appreciate your assistance. Hopefully
we'll all get together before long...can't make Marfa this year...I
think.

Hey Rob,

IVSM is not out of the question. We'll see how far the economic dive
takes us. I know I'd be a fool to miss it.

Planning to make Marfa for Wave Camp but even that is questionable.
My wife and I hope to be there but she's had a possible conflict come
up. We'll see...
