Thermotec made one for an LVVSA club member just a couple months ago. Very spendy, but available. Worth having insurance on the glider? Mind making spendy a little more specific? Just so it won't be such a shock if it ever happens. I'm thinking about general wear and tear and old age that might prompt a canopy replacement, not an accident. Jim Beckman

Jim Beckman Over $2,100.00 - well into YGBSM territory (I think our club member also had it mounted, so the total was over $3k [insurance paid for it]). OTOH, Todd's Canopies - under $500 (including shipping) as I recall. Todd's are blown, not stretch molded, so more optical waves are expected. I could put up with a lot of imperfections for that price difference.

BTW, 1-26, 2-22, 2-33, and I think even 2-32 canopies are blown. They seem to work.
