I did a quick search but havent found the answer. Does anyone know the canopy i.e. the plexiglass thickness on the rv 8 or rv4. Before it is stretched. Thx
Hi flybynight55
I can't tell you what it is today but a few years back ( 2015 ) when I bought my new canopy from Todd Silver (R.I.P. ) Todd told me that Aeroplastics (They build the canopies for Vans ) used a 175 mm. Plexi sheet and Todd was using a 225 mm. Plexi sheet at the time with the option of a darker color.

I know not answering Op's original question however for comparison the RV-14 front canopy is .187 of an inch. The current manufacture says this measurement can vary +/- 10% with the extrusion process.
