I think it needs some mount mods for the grommets. If I remember from pics it doesn't use the front clip.

You have to remove the canopy spacer part number pv1602 and also the 2 top screws that go through the lower side frames and replace with M3x18 set screw. You then need the lower canopy mount part number pv0588 which comes with set screws. The E820 still uses the lower plastic clip around the front skid....

I will look at mine but the e700 canopy probably too small. I think the 820 canopy has 2 extra posts in the front. The frames are the same so you would probably just need the posts.

E820 fits E720/G4 just fine, but you have to add front mounts I believe. I want one for my G4 but they're stupid money at nearly Ģ100!!

Check out Fusuno's site. They'll do any design they have on any canopy, so if you find one for a Blade heli for example, they'll spray it onto a blank canopy of another model. Think it comes to just over US$100.

When I get time I'll try to remember. It's fairly simple put esc in external governor mode and set end points on governor 2 tab. Set gear ratio and motor poles.

What about another heli brand canopy? I have 3 of the factory TT canopies and 2 Fusino versions. After 3 years, I'd like to change the look of my 720e. Anyone know if a Synergy or other will work without much butchering required? I don't mind moving grommet holes around but thought I'd ask here before just picking a canopy I like and giving it a shot.
