Being from ND I have decided I need to have a canopy install on my Starduster TOO project. I am at the stage where I need to figure out which one and get it ordered. I have been reading what info I can find here and have decided I will go with the Skybolt clamshell style.


I do have the traditional head and shoulder turtle deck which I realize poses some fit issues. Have any of you done a canopy install with the H&S turtledeck?


How about canopy length? From turtledeck to front instrument panel I come up with 59". I'm thinking 65-68" length to allow for trim at the back. I did speek with Todd Silvers today and he said he has a canopy that measures 80". I'm thinking that would be a bit too long. Any input appreciated.
