Order confirmation

Received my confirmation letter from Van's. Finish kit ship date is Oct. 18th. They also noted that the tip-up canopy reinforcement kit is now standard!

Finish kit ordered

Ordered the finish kit. I've decided to use the Sam James Cowl, so I substracted the cowl from my order. I also added the tip-up canopy frame reinforcement option. This isn't something they advertise but should be part of the kit in my opinion. It adds some lateral stiffness to the canopy. For $20, it's cheap.
