Default Guarantee?

It seems like I remember Todd's offering a replacement guarantee even if you cracked the canopy while installing it. I don't see any mention of that on his website. Am I just remembering wrong (nothing new here since my brain is full and has been for a while ) or has this policy changed?

When I got mine he told me that if I cracked it, he would replace it for free. I would just have to pay shipping. He also said I didn't have to worry about the temperature when I worked with it. This was a couple of years ago, so I don't know his current policy.

Give him a call, he's one of the nicest guys you will find to work with.

Default Shipping

Current quote on shipping to California:

"It will cost $130 to ship a LongEZ canopy to Sacramento with FedEx Ground."

His website sells canopies for RV3, RV4, and RV8.

Anybody ever buy one for an RV7?

I recently purchased an RV8 canopy from Todd. Great product, fits, tinted, better than Van's origional equipt. Todd was most helpfull, he delivered the canopy, part way in his personal van. I also need to send him, his only request, a photo of the installation. Total cost was less than Van's wanted for shipping alone.

Dancer,

The last time I talked to Todd, he only made canopies for Van's tandem planes. Maybe he will expand to the side by side at some point. Give him a call.

The lines of Todd's canopy seem much more streamlined than Van's. However I was wondering if you lose any headroom with it, especially in back, or is it just an optical illusion?
