Mine is stock, I am charging it now for tomorrow's CJ event, it takes nearly 10sec to remove the screw inc getting the screw driver....the time to do the mod would be several dozen charge cycles.
its just something I thought about could be done, but it's never been an issue for me, the driver for wing and nose is in my Tx case, so I always have them.
The early prototypes had quick release canopies with hatch pins, having seen a couple of Boomerangs destroyed when the canopy came off ( it takes the tail plane most times) we decided a screw was better....
i start my turbine and as it spools up I fit the canopy and screw it down, the time taken to start the turbine and stabilise is enough to screw it down.
