CANOPIES

I haven't made any for a while but should get some done this weekend. I should have these:

Super Duper Zilch $ 5.00
Ringmaster Sportster $ 6.00
Sterling Spitfire $ 6.00
Thunderbird II $ 6.00
Ambroid Stuka $ 7.00
Ballerina III $ 6.00
CL3 Chipmunk $ 6.00
Argus $ 5.00
1/2A ME 109 Like the Scientific kit $ 2.00
A generic 3" bubble canopy $ 2.00
I have a mold for a 35- 40 size ME 109 and can produce these but as the mold was provided to me I am unsure which set of plans it fits. These will be $ 7.00 if you can use them.

Bill
I am interested in purchasing 2 Ringmaster Sportster, and 1 Ambroid Stuka canopies. Send me an email of total cost with shipping, plus your address and I'll send you a check and my address right away.

Thanks

CR - email sent. Thanks, Bill

I left one out --- I have the plastic version canopy that goes on the Ringmaster. It may be the Sterling or the Estes I don't know as the mold was supplied to me by Currell Pattie. The cost on this one is $ 2.50

I also neglected to mention the shipping - I pay the packing etc - you only pay for the postal charges

I have been asked to do some more canopies - the Ringmaster Imperial and the Sterling Guardian. If the details are worked out on those I should have them available within 2 to 3 weeks.

We have kits and canopies from Bill; great products, timely delivery, fair prices. A gentleman to do business with!

Bill,
Thanks for the boost. Always good to hear from a satisfied customer and friend.

Bill: I can't remember what I sent you. I think it was the Sterling one, however. Currell

>Bill: I can't remember what I sent you. I think it was the
>Sterling one, however. Currell
Currell: Anyone wanting one should know if they need the clear one. I have checked my plans of the Custom Ringmaster and on the plans it has a note "clear plastic canopy" with a nice picture of it and it also shows in two places side views with a pilot installed. That was definitely a Sterling

Really pleased, Bill's work is top drawer. This is the Ringmaster Sportster.

Better than mine.

Mine just has a little curved acetate windshield. Upright engine, too.

Does anyone out there have a canopy for a top flite P-51 B?

Bill - Confirming my earlier email, I'd like 2 Stuka and 1 Argus. Please tell me where to send the money and how much. Thanks!

Dennis, The canopies are done, packed and ready to be shipped. I will get the postal charges in the morning and email you the total with my address. Sorry for any delay -

Which Top Flight P-51B kit are you refering to? I have an R/C T/F P-51A thru D which has both canopies in it. This kit is 60" W.S. Is this the kit you are talking about? / Larry

I'd like to get one each of the CL-3 and Argus canopies.
Please give me your address.

Thanks,

John Bocksnick

Due to the generosity of Tom Stewart in lending me the canopy from his kit to copy, I am now able to offer another canopy for sale. I have the Ringmaster Imperial canopy available for $ 4.00 plus shipping. Tom who also has the kit of the Ringmaster Jr. Flash, told me this is also the same canopy.
Tom will be getting his origional canopy back as well as a free copy for letting me use it to copy.

Bill, I would like to order a TBird II. What's your snail mail address and total shipping costs to zip code 61115-1517? Thanks, Vern Sundstrom:)

I received my canopies from Bill in a timely manner and the work is very nice. The 1/2A stuff was as clear as the Sterling Spitfire. Great stuff.

I recieved the canopys for the ringmaster imperial Bill made for me today.On a scale of 1 to 10 i rate his work at a 12!!!!!!!!.Super fast service and quality workmanship, a hard thing to find today.He has my highest recommendations. Thanks again Bill. Tom

Mild Bill UN-fortunately, nothing I try with this SSW thing seems to work - one more try!
I'd like to buy a canopy for the Ringmaster Sportster and, if posssible, the Ringmaster Imperial. How do I convey this fact, mail the money, etc, and to where???

Bill Dahlgren, [email protected]

Bill, I have sent you an email that should solve any problem. In the event anyone else needs this information:

If you would like to order just email me with what you want and send me your address. Normally I will email you the next day with the total due and where to send payment.
When someone orders a canopy(s) from me, I do not charge any fees except what the postal service fees are. The packing and handling is free. I accept checks, money orders or cash - if you can trust the postal people.

Bill, I received your canopies several days ago and they're fantastic! Please charge enough so that you can keep doing this, I know materials must be pretty expensive when purchased in small quantities...

Got your E-mail with the info. Many thanx. I don't doubt that the problems are all on my end - once I figure out what I'm doing, all will be cool.

I am adding something new - - - EXHAUST STACKS - - - These are 4 inches long and the exhaust round part is 5/16 inch diameter. The cost on these is $ 4.00 for the pair as shown. If you need other sizes I can make them larger.

An unsolicited testimonial - I received the Ringmaster Sportster and Imperial canopies and my mind is now (officially) boggled. Price, quality, delivery, all First Rate.

Dale,
The Stuka canopy fits the Ambroid kit. The dimensions are:
Length: from bottom front to bottom rear - 7 5/8 inches - I could be off by a 1/16"
Height: front just over 2 inches
rear just over 1 1/2 inches
Width: across the middle bottom 1 1/2 inches and it is a taper from front to rear being slightly wider at the front.
I did my measurement by holding a ruler next to the canopy. I could get closer to the exact but I would have to trim the excess off - I didn't want to do that as the extra material helps hold the shape better until use.
The exhaust stacks shown above are 4 inches long but if you need them 5 or 6 inches long I can scale them to the size you want -special order add $ 2.00 to the cost.

Bill

I have been informed the ME 109 canopy fits the planes in the Tom Morris classics for the Frank Baker ME 109 and the Osborne BF 109
These have the raised frames ( as done on the Stuka ).

Is there anyone that has a Veco Hurricane canopy that would like a duplicate of it for free? If you wil lend me yours, I will return it undamaged with a free copy of it for you.

A Barnstormer would be nice. Old style not mark 2.

Do you happen to have one to lend me?

I wish I did. I did see one at vsc this year. I liked it.

Hi Dick. I have made four canopies for the Barnstormer. They have to be sewn from plastic sheet. I got tired of doing it by hand using the baseball stitch, so I did them on the sewing machine. Much quicker and neater. I have also made a mold so they can be pulled, but they just don't have that "Barnstormer" look.

The Midwest Panther Canopy ! ! !
Indroductory price of $ 8.00 until the end of August. At that time the price will be $ 9.00.

I regret that I have to increase the prices on my canopies but effective September 1st. there will be a price increase on all canopies. I have maintained the same prices on my first canopies, the Super Duper Zilch and Ringmaster Sportster since I started selling them on Isky's board years ago and have tried to keep all new additions in line with those prices.

Please note that my email address has changed however the old address will work for a few more days

Bill: I need about 6 feet of that very small fillet material. How much, and give me the correct address? Thanks. Currell

Bill, your Spitfire canopy is perfect, my Sterling Spit canopy has a slightly textured area. (overheated?) Your CL3 Chipmunk canopies look good too. Goodonya! Don

Hello Bill, I would like to purchase a Stuka Canopy & pair of exhauste stacks.
Please send address so I can forward MO.
Thanks,
Dale Sebring

Another new canopy will be available later this week. It is what I was told is a Euro style. It is 3 inches high and 9 inches long with no frames. Since canopies are clear, it is hard for me to get good pictures of them so this time I stuffed the canopy with tissue paper. The imperfections you see are the wrinkles in the paper. I will have these available for $ 8.00 each.

;) need two barnstormer canopies, please quote price and shipping to the west coast. Send address to where check can be mailed. Best Guy Markham.
