I made the mistake of cracking the canopy provided by Vans Aircraft on my RV8. It was a fine canopy, but I felt like I would spend a little time searching for an alternative replacement. The cost of the canopy, plus the price of shipment from Vans made me want to tolerate the crack. Someone mentioned Todd's Canopies, Inc. in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida. I live in north Florida, so I emailed Todd for an estimate. The price was fantastic so we made an agreement and I mailed Todd the check. I was to pay shipping when the canopy arrived. It showed up in about two weeks and it was a beauty. Tinted just the right amount and in excellent condition. I waited for my check to clear the bank...I thought I had written it for $350.00, which was the price of the canopy plus the cost for crating it. The check cleared last night, BUT it was only $300.00. I had written $350.00 in my check ledger. I emailed Todd and asked what was going on. In reality I had shorted Todd $50.00 but he filled my order and shipped the canopy anyway. I mailed him the balance this morning. All of that to say that I truly appreciate Todd's service and the quality of his product. He answers his emails and is definitely on top of his business. I'm glad that I had the pleasure of dealing with one small American company that still puts his reputation on the line.
