Canopies for Blade

[chally3]

I have read that you can fit a Trex 450 canopy on the blade, Is this an easy thing to do? or can you buy an unpainted canopy - I have seen the plain white on my blade box but cannot find them anywhere.. A friend of mine is very artistic & has offered to airbrush a canopy or 2 for me (this guys artistic talent is amazing & I will post pic's) and I do not wish to miss this offer from him as I have seen what he has done on other things!


cheers for any advice given,

Kind regards
Mark

Revolution Models sell the white one.

Trex 450 will be my next upgrade. If you get the Trex 500 canopy mouting kit, you can screw them into the Blade and there will not be any drilling of extra holes in the new canopy

There is a few painted canopies starting to crop up including blank fibreglass ones, have a look at fast-lads, they have some on display in the shop.

They also do plain white ready to do your own...

Looking forward to seeing the end result and if your mate wants to make a bob or two let us know as I might be interested...

for the price i think that canopy is very dissapointing there are far better 450 designs that can be made to fit easily

you can get the white blade canopy off ebay for around £8

if i were to get the trex 500 mounts would i need the 500 gromets or would the blade 400 ones be ok or even would i need to get the trex 450 ones?

Have a look on this thread http://www.rcheliaddict.co.uk/f105/blade-400-body-17017/page2.html

The first pic is a where to put the mounts for a Trex canopy, my pictures are where I have mounted it for my Blade canopy.

Make sure you scroll all the way down the page

[matt27]

so if your changing to a trex canopy you need to put the mounts where the screws for the anti-rotation is
