Custom canopy for AXE CP??
 
I was just wondering if anyone has seen, or made a custom canopy for the AXE CP?

Will any of the other canopies fit, like the ones for similar sized Heli's?

Problem is, I have a LiPo battery pack that is hindering the stock canopy from fitting, and I'm past the point in learning where I'm afraid I'll completely destroy it. I'd like to put a nice canopyon there instead of the exposed electronics look I'm sporting now.

Come on guys! Doesn't anyone have an opinion on this?

I've been flying this thing for several months without the canopy because it's too much trouble to put on and take off all the time, and on top of that, the new LiPo I got makes it not fit.

Should I just not worry about it until I upgrade to a 450 size?

Fusuno makes a "Custom Painted" AXE CP canopy, but it looks just like the stock one.
Try trimming the lower holes in the canopy into slots, now you just slip the lower slots (in the canopy), onto the lower studs in the frame & clip the upper mounts, quick & easy. If you really want quick battery changes, I made a battery clip (outta plastic strapping)to replace the rubber band that holds the battery. I unclip the canopy, pop it off, pull down the battery-clip, pop out the Lipo, slide in a fresh pack, slide up the battery clip & slap on the canopy.

Thanks for the reply...I was hoping that there was another shape than the stock.

I think I'll move up to the 450 size, and maybe go with a scale fuse.
