Looking for BT-13 formed canopy glass (plastic). We can fab the flat pcs, but need the formed parts. Any one know of a source? Cowtown Aircrafters, Fort Worth, Texas.

Lady, you want me to answer you if this old airplane is safe to fly? Just how in the world do you think it got to be this old?

Corn Cob, the pic's are great, but do you have any formed plex for the BT? Looks like you have a lot of BT parts in one of the pics. What all are you working on? Do you ever get to the States? Looking forward to hearing from you.

Not having worked on a BT-13 canopy before, perhaps this is a foolish question. But looking at the canopy itself, the top pieces appear to be a straight bend. Have you thought of bending your own Lexan?

It was a good idea, it just didn't work.

Banair is now repoping the formed plex for the BT13. As for the complete canopy wow, not sure where to send ya. We restored the canopy and there are a lot of parts when drilled apart. Good luck.
