I spoke to the folks at LP Aero at Oshkosk. Here's the deal. They
can't sell anything to an individual right now, as they are waiting to

they will produce the windows for the people who need them. I got the
idea that they would do it at Europa's price, rather than retail, since
most of us have already paid Europa for these.
