I've been working with Todd at Todd's canopies (toddscanopies.com) to make an RF4D canopy with just a little bit more headroom. His first attempt had a bit too much headroom for what I was looking for, but it might be just the thing for someone looking for a lot more room. Here is a photo with a standard canopy underneath. I've tried to Photoshop the canopy onto Collin's plane to show how it might look.

He is currently giving it another try with only slightly more headroom than stock (he blows them, so it is not a perfect science). If you're interested in the canopy in the picture, please call Todd at 954-579-0874 or email BSILVER05@aol.com. I think he's asking $375 plus shipping from Florida.
