Finally got the canopy right.....
This thing only gains 12 degrees over room temp at the batts and motors over a 10 minute flight. And you can see my align battery strap also.

For proper canopy venting I prefer inverted flight! Bigger holes

Now that's what I call Ventilated !
Dropped a Gram or Two on the weight, which will help with motor temps. too. Won't have to work as hard.

RE: Finally got the canopy right.....
I believe that you have fouled the aerodynamics of the canopy by disrupting the laminar air flow. Regrettably, this may result in increased drag and reduced lift.
Or not!!
LOL!!!!!
Is that punch motorized or did you have a happy spasm? And did you weigh the punch-outs?
