Does anyone have experience with this canopy? http://www.allerc.com/hurricane-255-frp-painted-canopy-d-type-p-5936.html

Is it a bit looser? My stock canopy is a pain and is pretty ragged after a couple of dorks so thinking about getting a new one.

Yes. Those canopies are wider than the stock one.

The "X2" canopies are the same shape as the X5 ones and are wider then stock.

True the new canopies are wider, but I still think those rubber are too stiff.
It's hard to remove the canopy without creating crack on the surface of the paint because the glass fiber is streching..I'll try grinding the rubber parts and /or the metal pins to loosen then a bit.

I agree the on the grommets. We need some RC Booya mini quick release mounts.
