We decided to have a three-pieces canopy, as the one that was used
in the original falcos and in the SF 260s. This kind of canopy has
the advantage to give more room in the cockpit and it is also shaded
for the sun in the central part.
Ing. Ernesto Valtorta made the molds on an old canopy that we gave
him, and after many tests he succeeded in making the tree plexiglass
parts. The next step has been to cut the plexiglass and to glue the
parts: it's a complicated operation and we have been lucky to have
the help of Mr. Petrozzi, a professionist in the plexiglass field.
In these pictures we fitted the canopy in place and formed the gluing
strip.
