slingshot canopy
« on: January 13, 2009, 06:59:20 pm »
Hi all,

Has anyone got any ideas where I can get a new canopy for a slingshot.
Ideally not the same thin floppy cover that is with the origonal model.
I have heard of plastic bottles being used but I cant find one that fits

Any ideas

Hi,

Yes thats the kiddie.

but the center cap is really heavy, and the canopy is really thin.

i would like a moulded one but not sure of the shape.

last resort is a balsa mould and to vac form one.

but is it worth the hassel on a fourty quid boat.
