Default 550 Canopy

Anyone out there have a 450-550 FG canopy they might want to sell?

We'll I bought the hurri several years ago and it came with tons of spares. I recently aquired a lot more spares as well. The white canopies are practically new. One has been smooth sanded in preparation for airbrushing by never started. No grommets. I'll put up pictures once I get home from the holiday. I'm not even sure what they are worth.

Here are some quick photos this AM from my iPad. If you want higher quality for inspection then let me know and I'll get them tonite with better lighting. I also remember a thread that a flyer used an X5 canopy and it fit perfect. Remember one of these is sooth sanded and not glossy.

Default 550 Canopy

The only holes are for the grommets and under the nose for cooling. Compared to a fusuno I have they are thinner. Not as thin as my walkera v400 canopies. I can mic the thickness if you want me to.

Oh, just saw what you saw. Were the "holes" you were questioning the light shining through the canopies from the view looking into the inside of the canopies photo? If so the picture was taken with the canopies flipped upsided down so they would sit up straight. Therefore the light is coming through the cooling hole under the nose of the canopy.
