Title: Thicker Varieze canopy
Post by: John Mellor on February 21, 2007, 07:17:30 PM

Can anyone please tell me where I may be able to buy a thicker Varieze canopy. I came across a website some time ago that advertised them but lost the details and now I can't fint it.  I'm beginning to think I imagined it.  I think they were 3/16" thick instead of the usual 1/16".    Thanks, John M.

Hey John,

Perhaps it was here:

They claim nominal thicknesses of 3/16".  I'm not convinced they aren't playing "middle man" for Todd's Canopies, though.

I'd shoot an email to Todd first (his address is on the website) with your request.  He can blow you a 1" thick canopy if you want it.... just ask (and bring $$$).   :D

Thanks for the info D.  
I think Aircraft Inc  was probably the one I found, so I've sent them an e-mail.    I e mailed an enquiry to Todds a few days ago but haven't received a reply to date.    Hopefully I will get around to replacing my tatty canopy in the Fall but I'm not looking forward to it...     John M.
