Default RE: arresti III instructions

Quick question for Arresti owners.
I see Arresti III decals in pics of the model, (Aruba's and Aerobobs). Did they come with your kit or have you had them made for you ? Mine didnt come with any decals.

Below are some poor quality pics of my canopy attachment method now finished. I hated the idea of 6 screws to be fiddleing with so made a frame to support the canopy at the top of the fuse rails. I have two pins at the front of the frame locating into holes drilled in the forward ply bulkhead and one 4-40 bolt and blind nut at the top rear of the canopy to hold it in place. Its a snug fit and nothing will move or flap. Im impressed with my own ingenuity here. I made the frame on the fuse to get it a perfect fit. Smeared some vaseline at the four corners to stop it sticking and used some 5 minute epoxy to tack glue the frame into the canopy with the canopy held in exactly the right place, then removed the canopy and fame and epoxied the rest of the frame into the canopy.
