For those who work alone, this setup is very useful to trim the canopy. No vibration at all.

That looks great! Did you document your process to blow the canopy anywhere? I have been interested in trying to make a canopy for my KR2S and have been considering giving it a try. I would really like to hear about the process!

I encourage you to give it a try, it's very rewarding and well worth the cost. The cost of a Zenair canopy is around $ 2000 cad if I consider transport and shipping. You can make one for less than $ 1000.00 but what is most amazing is that you can then breed them for $ 100.00 each. Much less stressful when you make a mistake or crack one. If you are interested, I can send you all the technical details for the construction of your oven and the step by step for the blowing.
My email is medanielpelletier@videotron.ca Contact me directly, I will send you my infos. I begin with a couple of photos of the oven building.

Hi Brad,
I decided to try the experience after reading a powerpoint presentation from Martin Poettcker who send me his PowerPoint who is unfortunately no longer online actually. I can send it to you if you want. I let you his page reference. http://www.zenith.aero/profile/MartinPoettcker?xg_source=activity
