As he has to make a mould, my lead time is 4 months
He charges $2500 for a canopy for a DG, he has a Libelle mould, that was the first one he made.
I will ask him about costs.
At least a Libelle canopy is not so big. He said the pointy section at the back is the most difficult part to get right.
If you read the article, all of his glider canopies are stretch formed, rather than blown, making them thicker at the top of the curve.
Ian is retiring soon, and hopes to have a 2 week lead time in the near future. I suspect it would be too expensive with shipping, but is half the mecaplex price.
Right now he is busy on mine!
