[simpits-tech] Canopy Material

[Brian Sikkema]

Hehe, had a buddy start to attempt one in my Explorer, but wisely chickened 
out... wait, no, he WOKE UP. Yeah, that was it. Anywho...

BTW, I see you're building a plane now? :) Sounds like a sweet one, too.

Hard, but a friend of mine learned that it is possible. That particular
car is no longer with us.

I'm building something similar to what would happen if a KR-2S, a
Glassair, and a Vision all had an orgy. X-Plane says it'll fly pretty
good and the construction I have in mind will work nicely with the tools
and knowledge I have onhand, so it's all good. I just have to do all the
math to get the moments and areas just right and make sure the structure
is strong enough. I have a feeling that it'll handle about twice what I
need it to (13.5 g's) since the fuselage has a big ass keel down the
middle and the spar would be at home on a 747.
