Hi Vincent,

This may be as close as you can get. It is for a .40 size CAP 21. The dimensions are given so you can check your plans before you order. You may find it easier to make a small adjustment to the plane so that it fits an available canopy?

What issue of Flying Models had this CL Cap 21? TIA :-)

thanks Rudy
I have the plan, lost the mag, 1960's I think
most of the RC canopies are too wide,
designed to house 3 servos across
so circa 5 - 6" wide , the CL plan
shows 3 1/4" at the canopy front
Found the date of plan/article  January 1997 !!
Appreciate your reply

Happy landings

Vincent

Wonder if Tower is selling the canopy for the Score yet.. Bet it would be just about perfect.

Kim made his canopy himself. The model was built in about the early '90s for a WC he went to, so chances are slim that he still has the plug although it is possible since he does hoard stuff like that!

I hear that the original has recently met its demise in practice for the next WC. Its a CAP20, by the way. Slightly different to the CAP21.
