Thxs Larry,

My canopy is 19.5 inches (as shown in the attachment) at the pilots head.
The Pilot shown represents a 6' 2" - person, weight 250 lbs.  I think this
canopy should be sufficient for comfort.  I'm debating on making a canopy
like yours, the only change would be the rear of the canopy would resemble
my current design.  I do like your canopy very much.

A recent post about canopy height reminded me that I
had not gotten back with my measurements.

The canopy height on my KR at the center, from top
longeron to inside top of canopy is 19 inches.  It drops
to 18 1/2 inches at the pilots head location.  My canopy
assy runs vertically from the top longeron approx 7 1/2 inchs
before arcing over to the top.  My radius from side to top
is the arc of a 32 gallon trash can lid.

My results can be seen at:

Your results may vary! :-)

P.S. I hope to be flying in the next 30 days!
