Question Fixing the canopy mounts on an MCPX

Hello

Can't seem to find this, but does anyone know how to fix the canopy mounts on the MCPX, mine have completely broken off and are in need of fixing?

Some pics of what needs doing would help.

Can I replace/fix them with carbon fiber rod, I'm thinking I can drill into the frame using a pin vice and create new ones that way?

Thanks.

EDIT - nevermind, I just found this post - https://www.helifreak.com/showpost.p...1&postcount=11

A paper canopy will save the canopy mounts

I've always put some hot glue at the base of the canopy pins on all my new frames. Works out very well. One of the biggest money saver mods you can do. The hot glue gun can also be used to hold the skids on if the skid pin to frame becomes to loose. Also a small dab on the tail and motor connectors to the board works wonders.
