Phil May Posted August 16, 2010 Share Posted August 16, 2010 I have been looking, with no luck, for a canopy for my Seagull PC9, I do not know if my eyes need testing, but is a Tucano the same as a PC 9? I have looked at a few pics and think the are very similar - OR am I bonkers!! BP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dusty Posted August 16, 2010 Share Posted August 16, 2010 They very similar Phil, try the tucano canopy if its cheap enough! These are popular planes so I am sure the odd one crashes now and again, maybe someone will have a not so crunched canopy left?Edited By Dusty on 16/08/2010 19:07:33 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kc Posted August 16, 2010 Share Posted August 16, 2010 I don't know what size your PC 9 is but see if the size of the Tucano canopy offered by Vortex Vacform would fit http://www.vortex-vacforms.co.uk/canopies.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The PC9 (talking full-size of course, not models!) is built by the Swiss company, Pilatus Aircraft and the Shorts Tucano is a development of the Brazilian Embraer EMB312 Tucano. Both aircraft were in competition with each other to replace the Jet Provost as the RAF's jet trainer - the Tucano won. So as they were both developed for the same role it's possibly not surprising that they look more than a little similar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
