1-35 Canopy

An evil gust of wind totalled a Canopy for one of the LVVSA member's
1-35 today. Initial searches for a source for a new one didn't yield
good news. Any help would be appreciated.
TIA

SAC used Mecaplex as the source of the 1-35 canopy-I think.

I have used canopies made here in the US for years, good quality at a
good price without the shipping cost from Europe. Check with Ray

Mike,

Iris Striedieck makes excellent canopy covers. The 1-35 is on her pattern
list. (http://www.ridgesewing.com/}

Too early in the morning. I see you are locking for a canopy, NOT a new
cover.

You might try www.toddscanopies.com if you can't find an original or
molded copy. He's done a few gliders and claims to be able to do most
if you provide the canopy frame.

I contacted Todd, and he can likely make a new canopy. In my search,
I ran across a 1-35 page, and several references to Thermo Tec having
made 1-35 canopies in the past. I think another club member already
contacted Thermo Tec and got a negative from them. Drat!

Just be aware that Todd's canopies are blown, not molded, so it won't
look quite the same. There is also the interesting question of what
sort of paper work is required to use a non-certified canopy on a type
certified aircraft.

Update: I found a 1-35 page, and there were a few references to Ray P.
(Thermotec) making them, but I think another club member already
talked to them and they said they don't make one. Hmmmm. I've also
talked to Todd, and so far that looks like the most promising lead.
