<?xml:namespace prefix="v" /><?xml:namespace prefix="o" /><![endif]--> I'm almost finished  with the canopy-- Using a Todd's, which is a  little bigger, and aluminum flashing all around, which makes it a little  heavier,  and I've learned that if I ever decide to part out my plane, I  can sell the canopy complete as a guillotine.   I guess I'm also one  of those who needs heftier gas springs to hold the canopy up. Does anybody have  a source, price, and recommended spring weight available?

  

 Thanks.     Paul R

Paul,  

   

I also used a Todd’s canopy and ended up using some locally supplied (in Australia) gas struts with the same physical dimensions as the originals but gassed to 60# instead of the standard 40#.   

   

They work a treat.  

   

Cheers

The ZAC supplied springs are 40 pound models.  McMaster-Carr sells all sorts and I bought the 60 pound model which worked very well for me.  Their model number with description is:  9416K123  GAS SPRING WITH THREADED ENDS, 60 FORCE, 8.15" EXTENDED LENGTH, 3.54" STROKE   



Price was $11.15 each in March of this year.



Good luck,
