Try as I a might, I cant find reference or instruction to explain the differences between the "B" type canopies. Are they simply aftermarket versions? Non-Genuine?

Is it simply cosmetic? or Are there structural \ size advantages of the different types?

Eg. White Fiberglass "B" variety @ ReadyHeli.

Standard Red\White Painted Fiberglass one @ Ready Heli

they're genuine canopies.. just the new style.. the black portion of the canopy is shaped different and most important... it's a bit wider..

The type B has a much nicer finish, and non visibile mold creases, which make them more prone to crack as in the 204160. These are genuine.

Good canopies. FPR but there is quite a bit of fiberglass.
Good stuff.
