Hi Alan,
No, I haven't done the beanie mod. I am scratch building a 750 and decided it didn't really need it because the windshield/roof junction is fairly gradual. Now Zenith have done their own beanie mod to the Edition 3 CH750. I might incorporate their changes.
My idea was instead of forming an aluminum sheet rib like in the wings (as per Joe Spencer's mod), I would use some half inch aluminum tubing and bend it to a rib profile and place it in the middle of the cabin roof and rivet it to the lexan. This would provide some additional stiffness. The tubing that I am talking about is the type often used as wing rib battens used in ultralight aircraft. I have some from an ultralight that I had that received damage to the wings. I am not sure this would work well; just an idea that I had.
Regards,
Joe

I will take some specific photos for you toomorow but what I have done is to use the Jabiru fibreglass elbow and a piece of scat hose. I am not happy with the setup and will replace it with a Donaldson air filter rubber hose or similar. Many have done this and some have added an aluminium vane inside to straighten the air with RPM results. Jabiru are working on something very similar at the moment so keep an eye on their website.
I hope this helps and I will get those photos for you but also check out this members photo. http://www.zenith.aero/photo/2606393:Photo:66366?context=user
