Where can I get a nice Hughes 300/ schweizer body for TRex450SE V2? I like the Canomod, but $70 bucks? C'mon, I paid $118 for the full Hughes 500 fuse! It doesn't even bring skids, fins, nothin'! Anybody know of any options?

Actually Canomod copied my H300C The only difference they tried to differentiate is they went FG. Mine are High Impact Polystyrene or PETG.

I tried a PETG one on my Axe and I don't know how yours is made, but the one I got was paper thin and shredded when I removed it the second time. Went straight into the trash. I want a solid, realistic looking canopy. I don't care if it's made of lead, my TRex has a Scorpion -8 and don't care about weight. Maybe FG is worth the money.

Im not to sure what you may have bought. but I do have H300 that is made of .030 polystyrene and can be tailored with clear windows, or I clear PETG H300 made of .020 PETG . There are others brands of canopies but i stand behind anything I make. PETG is pretty tough its the same stuff they use to make product packaging out of such as batteries. But regardless the material, Ive worked with several materials including Fiberglass and when it actually comes down to durability, I dont see much difference in either the Styrene or the FG. The FG will be a little more fragile than the Styrene but the FG will paint a little better.

How much do you sell them for? Can you sell the canopy already painted? I'm a lousy painter.
