Dave Wilson Posted February 6, 2007 Share Posted February 6, 2007 Anyone know where I can get hold of a DH Mosquito canopy (for aprox 49" wingspan). 1 or 2 piece, with or without observation bubble. My attempts at heat shrinking on a mold are ending up like "The Blob" not quite got the hang of it yet (20 mins per pound at gas mark 5.... or is that for meat???)Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bushwhackerbob Posted February 9, 2007 Share Posted February 9, 2007 RCME have produced a couple of free plans for the Mossie and I am sure 1 of them was around 48" span. There were canopies available via thr RCME plans service.Or you could try Vortex who produce a wide range of canopies and mouldings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bushwhackerbob Posted February 9, 2007 Share Posted February 9, 2007 I dont have the wife problem. I cook, she cleans. Keeping her well fed. Therefore I am the keeper of the rolling pin. She has no idea of what has caused the burned on coating in the oven. Anyway to keep her from asking awkward questions I bought her a steam cleaner.(also good for removing goo from engines)but I didn't tell her that!!Have fun.
