I don/t think the canopy frame would provide enough area to mask to any great significane any RF, if it were a wing panel or whole tail section then I would assume that would be large enough to present problems. The materials engineers at work tell me that the great advantage of cf is its light weight, I always was of the opinion its primary advantage structurally was a very good youngs modulus, ie its siffness, my theory being that two layers of cf at half the weight of the regular stuff would give a stiffer canopy frame than the usual glass. Just a thought though.
