Canopy Cap

Canopy Cap

General Description

Canopy Cap by Franklin Fabrication -  is designed to be a lightweight, compact, reflective shade for use when rigging or while waiting on the grid. The simple design allows easy access and your cockpit is always shaded and cool. When you're ready for take-off, slip the cover off and stow it in the included storage bag, in the glider while you fly.

The lightweight design is not meant for extended use outdoors. It is not a replacement for a heavyweight, all-weather cover.

Do not use it while trailering as it won’t allow the canopy to be locked.

The price includes a storage bag.

Each Canopy Cap is custom-made for your glider. Delivery times vary but typically ship out the following business day.

Canopy Cap is shipped USPS Priority Mail even if UPS is selected during checkout. We understand that USPS does not deliver to every address. If this MUST ship UPS please let us know in the comment section of the order or give us a call.

Sun Shield Flap Option

On a front hinging canopy the sun may burn instruments or other items in the cockpit. With the sun low behind the tail the canopy may act as a magnifying glass and reflect a beam of light into the cockpit.

You must also purchase the canopy cap.

Canopy Cap price varies depending on selection above.
