Default JD Air New Product Announcement

I'm excited to announce that JD air will soon be taking over manufacturing and marketing of the Tip Up canopy latch formerly of Attaway air and Bob's Fairings. We will be making some cosmetic changes. You can see a photo under Chris Sands RV7. The latch uses the same mounting system as the stock Van's unit.

Also, we will be releasing air foiled aluminum sump drain fairing. The finishing touches are being done now and the fairing should be available soon.

Darwin,

This is good news. Thought I missed out on a sharp product. Look forward to placing the order with you.

Thanks,

What ever happened to the canopy latch handle you were making? I never received one...?

The slider style presented some issues and we weren't happy with the prototypes. Still in the plans though. It won't be released until perfect.

My dyslexia kicked in momentarily and I thought I read you were releasing "aluminum foil" fairings.

Hey Darwin, I am going to be in Phoenix late Feb.. It would be great to catch up. I need to get some brake extensions from you and would love to check out the status on your current project. Let me know if I can pick those brake peddle extensions up direclty from you.

Maybe I can buy you and Jason lunch again in Eloy ? ;-)

Thx
