TREX 550 DFC canopy

[Dan22]

Is it just me or does anyone else find the 550 DFC canopy is not a great colour for orientation.
I am looking for an alternative canopy in brighter colours, i presume a 550e cano will fit the DFC ok?
Looking at getting this one.

They do seem to have been slow with aftermarket canopies for the 550dfc

I like mine though

I prefer the colour scheme to be honest in the progress to get a 700 canopy done the same way ...

Looks good Mark
I think I will give the orange fins a go first.
I love the look of the DFC cano's too, but i will get a brighter one for the big air stuff!

Can only use DFC cano on DFC, 550e v1 or v2 are smaller (I think). I Quite like mine, but would agree with Don, his logo bursts out in the sky, seemingly with any sky/cloud shades

I assume the Fusuno canopies fit the V1 frame? But is it right that a DFC canopy wont fit a V1? I thought it was the same frame? just thicker?

Also how did you do the fins? Just stick on fluorescent and trim to fit?

The fins are made by Fusuno mate
I think they're made of fibreglass and coated with a matt finish Fluorescent paint

They look great in bright sunlight or in dull conditions
