I made the canopy frame before I made either front or aft deck, just so I could get that transition from canopy to those decks seamless looking, and I think I succeeded nicely (see the two photos at the bottom of http://www.n56ml.com/ ). Jim Hill put a Dragonfly canopy on his otherwise stock shaped KR2, and there are some photos of it at the top of http://www.n56ml.com/jhill.html that show one way to put a Dragonfly canopy on a KR2. It looks like he cut it back significantly to fit his plane, and I'm not sure if this is a stock aft deck or not, but knowing him, it was probably scratch built. I think Jim was either the first or one of the first to put a Dragonfly canopy on a KR2. The sides actually curve in a bit at the bottom, and gives excellent visibility when compared to the KR2 bubble canopy. Mark Langford ML at N56ML.com http://www.n56ml.com
