Cool looking Sonex

We had our local SAAA (Aust. EAA) chapter meeting here a few weeks ago at a group of 5 building 2 Sonex’s.
They’ve just about completed installation of a Todd’s canopy on one of them which I thought looked very cool.
They kept the canopy as a single piece to do away with the windscreen bow.
The canopy is a side tip and they’ve done some clever work with the latch mechanism to make sure it’s firmly attached on all sides when locked.
They’ve also installed warning lights on the panel to indicate proper closure of the canopy, anyway, here are some pictures:
