Can anyone recommend a place that sells cheap canopy for a 500 beside Hobby King? :? I'm looking for brightness, something that stand out :o . I really cant find anything decent for under $60.00. I found this that I'm thinking to buy,http://customhelicanopies.com/index.php ... uct_id=110 maybe but the shipping is half the canopy price :shock: Any ideas will be appreciated.

OH yeah..... Thanks, that's right. Jesse purchased his from heliwow, I think and he had problems with them.

I'm going to take a chance with Heliwow and purchase this canopy http://heliwow.com/trex-500e-pro-canopy ... ea-m1.html I should have no problem seeing that in the air, I hope. Thanks Graham Lawrie for jogging my memory. :)

No, your not late. Thanks for that information. I did check that site out but they only had one canopy and it's a fuselage.

That's a great looking canopy, DOG! I like it! If you order that one, I hope the transaction goes smoothly. Most 500 canopies that I've looked at are $55 and up unless you get some lesser quality plastic canopies.

I usually wait for sales on canopies at Amain or Helidirect and then buy a couple on clearance.
