Default mcpx frame

First off, New to the sight so HELLO lol.. Now im extremely tired of changing main frames due to these little canopy pegs breaking off. Anyone know of a like to a sight or any info at all on how to make them stronger, without having to buy a more expensive frame? Im not the best at flying inverted yet so i predict a few more crashes lol. Thanks in advance.

Dustin

CA and sewing thread can make a strong repair on a snapped canopy pin. Unless the pin got lost, of course.....

I was snapping the pins left and right. I loosely followed the sticky on frame strengthening. I used sections of carbon fiber rod and sewing thread with CA on a brand new frame. I have had some epic crashed and I haven't broken a single pin since.

I have those on both of my frames and I haven't broke a single canopy pin. I have stuffed both of them hard many times. They work. Also allows you to mount your board with gyro tape.
