Q/R Canopy Mounts?
I read somewhere KDS is going to be coming out with some Quick Release Cano mounts. Any word on when we might see these?
I know Booya make a 4pcs set but we really only need rears I think. I had ordered a set from a shop on eBay but they've pulled the listing due to CNC issues. They will be made available again soon I'm told, at $20 shipped they should be oK but I'd like to see an offering from KDS with replacment parts available should the be needed.

I saw the Booya's Graham but think since the rears are longer than stock (11mm Vs. 7.5mm) it would pull the fronts out of the grommit easily if I kept stock fronts.
Basically it would require Q/R front and rear which I've found a pain in the past getting the lid on and off. Correct me if I'm wrong.

I've got Booyas front n back on all my bigger helis, no problem getting the lids on n off. Hit Jeff up at RcBooya, he's a great guy with a great product and great customer service. When I order my 5.5 I'm going to order a set for that too.

Maybe easier on the a5.5 but my Synergy E5 was a pain.

The 4 piece sets are just 2 standoffs and 2 quick releases, not 2 front and 2 rear sets.

Then I guess it's an 8pcs set by that standard.

Scot. Yes agreed on the E5, mine was a pain too, saying that the booya on the agile go on and off real easy.

Well, I got tired of waiting for someone to release a decent solution so i came up with my own.
I had some Atom500 Booya mounts I never used so i decided to re-tool them to work with the Agile 5.5. First took a Dremel and lobbed off all but 3.5mm of the shank so as to keep them as narrow as possible. Then chucked each up in the drill press and spun it up using a file to turn down the diameter of the shank to 4.4mm so it would insert through the frame and into the boom block omitting the Red Frame spacers. Then shortened the threaded rod by 5mm each side and voila, perfect fit canopy standoffs. Then took a drill and reamed out the canopy to 11/32 and installed the Booya grommets and inserted the pins. Now I have simple, secure rear QR mounts. Like this:

Glad I went the route I did.

+1 for the Hawk-RC. They're great! Way easier than the Booya's that I have on my 550X.

I have a guy at my field has a 5.5 with magnetic mounts, they were really cool and seemed to work well. I didn't think to ask where he got them from but I plan too.
