Re: canopy

Todd went west. The KR2 does look the same, that might be a good option. Goof Off has Acetone in it as the main chemical, so it is
going to be a non starter. We used to use Aliphatic Naphtha on some Interiors cleaning jobs at Cessna, Beech, and Falcon. It was not the
most effective but it also didn't attack chemically. It is a bit of an oily feel. My canopy is not tinted..since the previous kit builder progresses to the point of bonding it into the shell I can see the edge. I need my hangar done so I have a place to start
digging into these chores!!

I finally got enough off that I was able to see that it was crazed in some places, so I gave up. Yes I tried Goof off as well. No es bueno. The only thing that really worked was the heat gun, and that was going
to create internal stresses that could cause a catastrophic failure in flight.
I found the company in Northern Calif still had the Dragonfly mold. My original canoy was also tinted which makes night flying a little more difficult.
The Dragonfly canoy is also the KR2 canopy as I recall.
I don't know if the Q2 canopy was blown or molded.
Todd's Canopies made blown canopy's but his facebook page says he was fatally injured in a plane crash back in 2016. I don't know if they are still in business.
