Default Comp-ARF 2.6m Canopy - What do you think?!

Guys,

Took a slightly different approach to fixing the canopy on my 2.6m Extra. Went for M3 button head bolts. I've seen some of the 3W Extra canopies fitted like this and went for it!

Half way through I liked it but now I'm not so sure!

What do you reckon? D'ya think it looks good or erm....bad?!?

I plan on tinting the canopy so that may improve things?!

Looks good. Once you get some color on the plane they won't stand out as much.

I think it looks great and you will be happy with it in the long run. I would personally do it the same way it looks nice and clean.

If you do go down this route, a word of warning - make sure you pull the canopy into the frame as tightly as possible and keep it pulled in ALL the time you are drilling the holes!!

If you don't do this, by the time you come to the last few bolts you'll find you have a mini crisis on your hands when there doesn't appear to be enough canopy left to fit the frame!
