I've been checking out Raptors lately, and I like the features and bang for the buck with the Raptor 50 Titan, but one thing I absolutely hate about the Raptors is the canopy! Are there any nicer aftermarket canopies for Raptor 50s - possibly fiberglass options?

There are several sites that offer custom fiberglass painted canopies. Several have links off the helifreak main page.
I've been checking out this place.

Awesome. I had been to Ricko's before, but never noticed the cool Raptor canopies. Any idea what company makes this fiberglass (I'm guessing) canopy that Ricko has?

Looks much cooler! Oh, and is a 30 canopy the same as a 50?

I would assume he makes them himself but I don't know.
Yea.. that canopy is on my list.. my birthday is coming up soon :lol:
I think you can just buy the canopy un-painted from him.. not sure tho.
I think the 30-50 canopies are the same size.. I'm sure someone else will jump in there that knows.

The 30 and 50 canopies are the same.
Gohbee has a nice Fiberglass canopy that will fit a Raptor 30 or 50, and it wont break the bank.
Time permitting there are painted ones available too.

Thank you guys! Is it just me, or is Gohbee's website super slow to load! I must have waited 10 mins. on a 48Kbps connection before I could see anything.

Some times the website is a little slow, especially if you happen to hit it while there are updates being made.
With all of the new stuff comming out, there have been a lot of updates.
