Fox Canopy

Post by jimbo »

Im currently looking into getting a new canopy for my fox. The dimensions are 64.5cm x14.5cm (widest measurement) the span is 4.2m with tips which give me a scale of about 1/3.3. 4m gives a scale of /3.5.
Anyone know where i can get one or who has one surplus to requirements?

I was informed that Antonia on here may be able to make a canopies for people? Can you help Antonia?
Thanks all,
Neil Byrne
