Canopy Grommets

[Steve]

I'm looking for an alternative source of rubber canopy grommets for my Xcell helis, and was wondering if there are some more readily available versions from other heli manufacturers maybe?

I've tried sourcing generic grommets and they are surprisingly hard to find exactly as I want them, but not impossible.

Required sizes are:

• Internal dia - 5mm (important)
• Mounting hole size - 8mm (important)
• Panel thickness - 0.7 - 1mm (roughly)
• External dia - approx 11mm (roughly)

If I could find some from a non-heli grommet supplier of the right size at the right price, I'd probably buy 20-30 or so.

Any suggestions?

Re: Canopy Grommets

I use CNC grommets on my 450 helis which are excellent, I've just acquired a trex 600 and I've ordered these if it helps

I use these on my 450 which work great, i'm sure you can get larger ones if required. (no they are not rubber though)
