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.

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.
