Hereīs what I did some time ago when I broke those stock plastic canopy mounts.
btw, this is the only carbon fiber part in my MiniTitan at the moment. Broke SAB blades and diy- tailfin last week :(
---
Take approx. 80mm long piece of 3mm CF rod. Round the ends.
Cut two 24mm long pieces of fuel tube and install.. ready to fly :)
Fuel tube pieces keep cf-stick in place and support canopy.
Plastic canopy mount center part (that goes inside frame) should not be installed.
CF-stick can flex more without it.
I havenīt managed to brake this mount yet..
Tried nose-in collision to earth -not intentionally- and broke various other parts, but canopy mount is ok.
Fit between CF-stick and canopy rubber pieces is tight enough so canopy stays in place just fine.
