rock on bro! nice canopy. i almost ordered one of those, that's the helidirect fg, right? $20 for a scratch/dent isn't bad, but then i realized that i have a stock gaui shell waiting for paint. how's the quality on it?

Thanks.. actually.. The wife paid 39.00 for the scratch and dent..(for a valentine's gift :oops:) lol.. When it arrived, it had a stress crack on the bottom but I decided to keep it.. I really didn't want to go through the hassle of sending it back and waiting for a new one.. I should have, considering the amount of money I spend there..
The quality is pretty decent tho..

Everyone seems to be reporting getting these Helidirect canopys with some sort of damage.
Anyone get one that was in good shape?

So, I got home and started putting stuff together and after everything was almost good to go, I noticed that I had NO PINIONS!!!!!!!!!!!
Where are you guys getting your pinions from?

I got exactly the same Helidirect canopy and it was in excellent condition when arrive in Greece. I m very happy with it, although I have cracked it on the bottom, after a few flights. So I suggest getting the scratched canopy from Helidirect in the price given.
Regards the pinions it depends on the motor and the gears…. There is a big choice out there, I got my RevCo gears from Ready heli.
