No, it is much too small. I got one just to see if it would be adapatable but it is too small to fit.

I have noticed that if Gaui does not list something as fitting the 200, it doesn't.

i knew it wouldn't be a direct fit.
i was hoping to just open new holes to mount it differently,
but it seems it is way too small.

OK, I got thinking some more and took a second look at this... you MIGHT get it to work, different mounts for sure and it would be quite forward because of the different configuration compared to the 100. I think you could get it on but it will look kind of silly that far forward. I'll play with it later on tonight and post some pics if it at all looks like it will work....

I was surprised that it fit up pretty well, BUT it will require wider mounts, just get the plastic align ones from the T-Rex 450 and modify as needed. In my case pushing the battery back to get the canopy to fit on put me fairly tail heavy now. I would have to add nose weight to fly it. It would be possible to mount it more forward but would require a different location of the mounts altogether and it looks really funny to me that far forward..... Otherwise I think if you are willing to give it a try it will work with a few compromises though. I have to admit it does look nice.....

One other thought is that in a crash I would think this canopy would offer very little protection compared to the fiberglass "heavy" one.... Great canopy for indoor hover practice.

You actually get the 300 style tail fins with the body as well as a clear molded windshield. I do not think the tail fins will protect the tail rotors though.... there is a metal pin that they have hang down from the vert. fin but I am not too sure how well it would function....Can't go wrong for what it cost for the body though. Let us know how it works out for you when you get one.

i will ,but it may take a while until my next parts shipment.
