Hello Chris, I apologize if I have missed the point of your post, but if you are just trying to fabricate your aft turtle deck it was best for me to do it with the canopy already in place. The canopy is a very flexible item and will take almost any radius asked of it. It will easily fit many different fuselage widths and of course this will affect the actual shape of the canopy. I built the canopy and frame first and then used it to build my forward and aft turtle decks. I am very happy with the results.
As for the foam and resin question, I got some of my foam from my local building supply store/lumbar yard. They had 4' x 8' sheets in both 1" and 2" thickness. It was a Dow product and light blue in color. I am using the West System epoxies that are available from Wicks or Aircraft Spruce. They are not "local" but if I order from Wicks I usually get it in two days. Hope this helps, Stephen -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Chris Johnston Sent: Tuesday, January 24, 2006 6:50 AM To: KRnet Subject: KR> cad file turtledeck Would anyone have a cad file of the front end of the aft turtledeck profile to suit a dragonfly or rand robinson kr2s canopy, any form of drawing file in autocad/turbocad/microstation etc, or even just some measurements would do, I have the height and width from the plans, just a radius that works for the corners would probably do. _______________________________________ Search the KRnet Archives at http://www.maddyhome.com/krsrch/index.jsp to UNsubscribe from KRnet, send a message to [email protected] please see other KRnet info at http://www.krnet.org/info.html
