3-D Paper Canopies

[EchoVictor]

I've been working on quite a few projects lately that needed an aircarft-style cockpit or nose cone canopy. On a couple I've used a block of balsa, but that's kind of a pain and makes quite a mess.

Is there a handy source out there for some nice paper canopies that are easy to make?

Thanks,
EV

There sure is!

It took me a while to find it but Thank Tim V. at Apogee for this.

the plan pack has 15 cockpits...and a whole bunch of other stuff too! for $10!

Thanks,
EVI just responded on your other thread about making aircraft style bubble canopys from clear light bulb packaging.

They're not paper but they are easy to do.
