Custom 500 Canopies

[kublid]

I'm getting a Logo 500 shortly and was looking around for ANY custom canopies. Can anyone suggest where to find custom goodies, or is it just white that's available? thanks!

These helis are so new period that there are no vendors carrying them custom painted or anything like that. In fact the fiberglass ones for the 500 just came out and are not at most vendors yet. I think you will need to wait 6 months or so before there are enough of these kits, and spare parts out there.... I to want a custom canopy or two, so many of us are in same boat, cheers. :wink:

While on the subject of the Logo canopy, is it possible for the new 500 canopy to fit the older Logo 10 Frame, more specific the Novaman CF logo 10 frame?

You can always go to Callie-Graphics (http://www.callie-graphics.com) if you would like to do your canopy in vinyl. Callie has done several L500 canopies.

As for the 500 canopy on an L10, I would have to say it would be close to impossible without looking really bad. The 500 canopy is much longer than the L10 canopy. If you really wanted to butcher it up, you could probably get it to "stay on".

CanopyFX seems to do nice work: www.canopyfx.com/index3.htm (http://www.helifreak.com/www.canopyfx.com/index3.htm)

And the guys over in Austria at: http://www.helistore.at (http://www.helistore.at/) do great stuff with the 600 canopies. One example at their gallery: http://gallery.helistore.at/main.php
