I have been asked to post some pictures showing various canopies and their light pentatration factors.
This pic shows a 76%, a 59% and a 49% samples. I'm using the 49%. http://rvflying.tripod.com/p9150001.jpg This link shows a smoke 45% canopy. The owner of this canopy has no adverse feelings about flying under this one at night. The link on this site is Todd's Canopies. http://kgarden.com/todd/rocket.htm This link is more on the extreme side and is a 29% canopy. No way this one gets off the ground at night. http://www.lazy8.net/rv8.html Dana Overall 1999 & 2000 National KR Gathering host Richmond, KY RV-7 slider/fuselage, Imron black, "Black Magic" Finish kit ordered!!
