Radar Arch for DE185 - Suggestions Please

[northfork]

Would like to get an arch made for my Double Eagle 185 complete with rocket launchers, radar mounting plate and spot to attach antennae. Am located mid-Island so any fabricators between Victoria/Sooke and Campbell River. Stainless would be nice of course but aluminum is likely the reality dollar wise. Where you all recommend? Love to see some photos if you have one on a DE185 you want to share. Can email to me as well if prefer. Just looking for ideas and want to get it done right. Thanks

Here is some ideas from one I made,not a DE but similar, if you were on the mainland I would offer to help. If you go with aluminum I would highly recommend having it anodized vs powder coated the arch was built in 2017 and is holding up very well.

Looks slick. Looks like it’s on a hinge ? Will it fold down? Looking for something like that for an Arima .

I know some guys have gotten them from Atlantic Towers south of the border.

It could fold backwards yes

Thanks for the offer wish I was there to take you up on it. Anodizing sounds like a good way to go....know anyone who does it on the Island or lower mainland. Thanks for the pics too.

I haven’t had any work done here but know a couple of people who have and they were very satisfied

Call some shops ask them if they can give you a rough sketch or what not
