A little bit on the sidetrack, but herewith a little Chevron story from my side

A while ago I managed to buy a NIB Chevron, and yes it was made by MFA.

As the kit was made in the mid seventies, the only problem was the canopy as the material was hard and brittle (what do you expect after so many years)

So I contacted MFA in the UK, and although they do not make planes anymore they told me that they would try to find the original mold for the canopy (on the attic) and see if they could make me a new one.

At first I thought that this would be the end of the story, as it was a lot of work to sell a 10 Euro canopy.

But to my surprise, within one week I got a mail from MFA that they had found the mold and had already made me a new canopy!!!

Including shipment to the Netherlands the costs were around 15 euro.

One week later the mail brought me a brandnew beautiful canopy for my Chevron

Besides the fact that it is a beautiful plane, I thought it was also nice to hear that there are still companies which still know what the word service means.
MFA Thanks!

Succes with this beautiful plane!

In case there are questions concerning CG etc please let me know as I have the drawing of this plane

Regards,
Gert
