What materials are the Canair 300 series & 500/2 made from?
A – Plywood (light mahogany door skins) is the major material for the hull. This is a readily available material, light in weight, low cost and very easy to work with. Areas susceptible to damage, such as the underside of the hull are covered with several layers of fiber glass mat. Because of the double curvature of the bell mouth fan duct, it is made of molded fiber glass. The other major material is the skirt and folding side covers which can be a light weight polyurethane, PVC or neoprene coated nylon fabric.
