Canopy age
Posted: Wed Feb 04, 2015 3:20 pm
Sonex #0525 took to the air May 5, 2005.
The kit was delivered in 2003, which makes the still original canopy almost 12 years old. Now, maybe because of UV-light, ozone, age or whatever, I find that it gets increasingly brittle. This manifests itself in such a way that it starts to crack around the hinge rivet holes on the right side.
Anyone with the same experience? Anything that can be done about it?
Thanks
Kai
