Jason, you should find someone in your area that has built a Vari a Long or Cozy and ask for their help. First you need to find out why the cover departed and what if any damage was left behind. The experienced person will be able to help there as well. Making a new one is fairly simple and eze, but the experienced builder will be of great help, and you should do it yourself under direction. You will find the experience highly rewarding and you will use the information in the future as well. I suggest going to yahoo goups and joining the canard group, here you will be in contact with hundreds of builder flying who are great at helping fellow flyers and its an eze way to find nearby canardians.
