Canopies and windshields

Post by wildhorsesracing »

As I sit here freezing my arse off I can't help but think about flying my Hatz.

I am sure a Canopy would be a perfect solution, has anyone fitted a canopy?

If so, how did you easily remove it in the summer?

Also, has anyone removed the rear windshield on their Hatz and still flown it? How bad was the wind?

Can’t say I’ve ever seen a canopied Hatz although they may exist. I’ve flown mine in the low thirties but it was brutal. I like for the temp to be my age. I’m 59 now.

Same reason I want a Canopy - I want to fly in the winter.
