bobz,
Thanks for your quick reply. Please explain what you mean by the "vertical uprights". Also, I am interested to see how you attched the canopy and how you will have access to the battery. I am still trying to figure out how I will mount the canopy so it is easy to remove. Here is the equipment setup I plan to use:

Brushless Motor: PM282610 AXI 2826/10 OUTRUNNER Brushless Motor

Motor Mount: PM282002 Radial Mount for 2820/2826 Motors

Brushless Controller: JESAP70PW Jeti Advance PLUS 70 Amp Opto Brushless Controller
