Canopy

Having to replace my RV-8 canopy due to an aggressive crack. Was curious if there's any appreciable difference between Vans standard and companies like Aeroplastics?

Thank you!

If you do end up getting your canopy from Vans, make sure to get it with the baked in UV-A and UV-B protection. I seem to recall it was an extra $100. Not listed anywhere, you just have to ask for it.
 
Charles, did you get a canopy and if so, from whom. Are you using your old frame, or a new one?
 
Aeroplastics

I bought a canopy from Aeroplastics shortly after Lance sold the company. The service/support was outstanding...the canopy seems to be a little heavier (thicker) than the stock Van's canopy. Got mine tinted...I like it.

Just finished installing it with Sika...went well.
