I am still looking for a fiberglass canopy for my raptor 30, but so far all I have found is either a 100.00 dollar canopy from Canomod or the standard white-- 40.00 bucks. So just where is a Raptor 30 canopy,, fiberglass and not white and not a hundred bucks ??

Part 2----- So after chasing a lean run in my Raptor 30 v2 I did finely narrow it down to the engine,, the TT 39 that came with would run so hot that just after a few seconds it would loose power and no longer hover. I have already replaced it with an os 37 and now Rappy runs Great !!. Ok, so when I began to tare down the engine the first thing I found was there was no head gasket. In the manual it shows a gasket between the head and cylinder, is this correct or did the gasket just not get installed at factory. Now, if in fact the head gasket was not installed, would it have leaked fuel from the top of the head or is it possible to have a head leak causing air to be sucked in but no fuel being pushed out ??

For Part 1 of your post check this out:

I buy my canopy's here for $65 painted you can get the V2 or 3D version.

See the attached image for the one I got. Keep in mind it has seen a few mishaps.


For Part 2

Have you changed the factory clunk line on your Raptor? This is something that should be done immediately as the factory clunks fail fast, with as little as 1 flight on some. I believe that your engine should have had a head gasket but I am not 100% positive.
