Anybody with the s18 who has used the airplane plastics canopies.
They do an s18 windscreen.
The canopy is apparently for the T 18 but should fit the s18.
If you have used this have you had to modify the canopy and roll bar frame to fit or is there enough flex in the canopy to go the extra 2 inches.

The canopy will work. The trick is locating the frame fore and aft in the bubble. Jeff and Becky are fine people to deal with.

I used airplane plastics for my S-18 . Both for the windshield and the canopy. The windshield required some minor cutting along the bottom side to fit properly. The canopy as I remember DID NOT require any cutting to fit . In fact there was just enough on the bottom side to fit over the canopy frame w/o any cutting ! Drilling all the windshield and canopy screw attachment holes was the real pain! BADA BING, BADA BOOM !!
