Default fiberglass canopies?
This heli has been on the market for a little while now. How come no one has jumped up and started making fiberglass canopies for it yet?

I'm sure if you e-mailed Fusuno, they'd make some for us.

I asked them 6 weeks ago, not on their radar as of yet. Everybody, let's harass them so they get on it. The stocker is beautiful but way too fragile!! C'mon Fusuno, get on it!!!

Haven't really figured out how to upload pics onto this forum yet. But the canopy I chose was the trex 500 pro dfc from amain, had some coupons and free shipping so I went for it. Just need to drill two new holes just beneath the originals. Fits pretty darn good. I Put some soft padded tape lining all contact points on the inside of canopy. Definitely looks better than stock even if it is a mut inmho.

So did you only use the rear mounting points then, and not the fronts?

Yes, ignored the forward ones. Just make sure when you mark your holes that canopy is pulled up tight under frame and there's no weird catches on wires etc.
