Ok this is a very long shot...

Anyone got a Salto Canopy stashed away?

Prefer US location but will look at worldwide.

Thanks

Some responders suggest that the Libelle canopy might be ...
persuaded ... to fit ...! but like Salto owner Bob Carlton I am quite
doubtful. I think the Libelle/Salto relationship has been a bit
overstated in some print publications over the last twenty or so
years, and that has led to to assumptions that they are twins; not
identical, but, nevertheless, fraternal twins. I am well familiar
with Libelles and Saltos (owning one) and find a remarkable number of
dis-similarities! They are more like siblings - related but very
different - than they are like fraternal twins, IMHO.

OK, I am metaphor-ed out....

Safe soaring to all,
Bob Wander
