Mark,
I say "ditto" to what you have said about height and width. I have
yet to ride in a KR. I am 6'21/2" tall.
I weigh 200. I have had 2 opportunities to ride in a KR2 and a KR2S. Both
times my head touched the canopy top.
I made my cabin 4" wider at the outside. I gave up t

For ease of building, make the bottom to side a 90 degree angle.
Or do not taper top to bottom, Virg

Hi all,
Just a quick question about the height of the canopies being used.
I have access to a surplus canopy from a locally produced aircraft, and it
measures 15 1/2 inches from the bottom to the top when sitting flat on a table,
and 43 inches wide (which will fit my widened KR2S) sitting flat. W
it measures 15 1/2 inches from the bottom to the top when sitting flat
on a table, and 43 inches wide

Sounds perfect to me - how slanted is it in front?
I am chasing exactly that for a cabin width.
What do they cost Gavin?

My Dragonfly canopy installed is 17.5" above the longeron at the tallest
point, which is pretty close to what the side views of the KR2S show (the
only point of reference I was able to find at the time).

No, they work for me (I looked at it before I sent the URL this morning),
but I have the "Google Toolbar" popup stopper, so that may b
Netters,
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
Dan,
Can you tell me what the distance/height is from your top longeron to the
top most of your canopy, please.
