Glad you like it mate
I still have a soft spot for the QJ's, but have too many other irons in the fire right now.

If you bling it, they will come :D

My Posts This: Topic  Forum		Thanks gorn , these canopies are a little flimsy in places so I took some fiberglass cloth and FG resin and hardener and stiffened mine up a little ... They are so flimsy that the paint cracks in places .
I`m trying to come up with a good paint sceme to paint it now....
I`m thinking checker board flag bursting through some kinda yellow and red....

My Posts This: Topic  Forum		OK, got my HDX500 canopy, Jimbo...

That's how it looks like on my new EX. The bird only had some few minutes of configuration flight-time so far... gonna bash it around some more this weekend.

Cheers,

FunKey

My Posts This: Topic  Forum		The Fury canopy can be had today without having to go through HD. I know because someone was nice enough to take care of me. The answer is in this thread... it's just a matter of reading the right post.

My Posts This: Topic  Forum		...and the canopy journey goes on... ;-)

How about the one from Canomod for the T-Rex 500? Fits perfect and Dude, what an airbrush job!

By the way, I "rexified" my bird a little more by mounting the T-Rex 500 stock motor, 1600 KV, with Jimbo's 12T pinion! Gives a nice headspead with 5S, thank you, Jimbo!!

My Posts This: Topic  Forum		When you install a canopy other than the EP8's stock, do you put a velcro or some kind of fastner at the bottom (canopy lip area) to hold the canopy in place (in addition to using the two canopy poles thru the gromments)?

From ammo?
