I used the Ultimate canopy from Great Planes, Tower Hobby part # LXLGN6
The canopy is 12'' long, 8" wide and 5.7" tall. Its smoked and looks good on mine.

Roger,

That's a cool looking prop you've got! How have they been preforming?

More work done today, first prepared the second wing sheeting, probably start on sheeting early next week.

Today made the tail feathers or should I say I started, still much to do.

Well Jack, just came back from flying and my buddy had it on his Extra 260 on a DL 50 .. He said it outperformed the other props he had on and the latest was a Menz 20*10 so I am happy with my design..
