4G6 / 4#6 prototype canopy

A new canopy design for the Walkera 4G6 / 4#6. With inspiration from the Henseleit MP and Three Dee RIGID canopy, I made this canopy longer and tightly closed around the swashplate.

Its easy to put on and uses the original rubber grommets and canopy mount.

And the best part: at 3.5gm it’s even lighter than the original canopy. Here are two pics one of the first prototypes. Still working on the colors and decal sets.

    Now that is a thing of beauty! Are you planning on having these professionally made and then selling them? If so, when can I place my order? Love those skids as well!!!!

    Hi Steve,
    thanks! This is only a prototype right now and I’m still fine tuning the design, production process and materials. After that, we will see.
    The landing gear is from the T-Rex 250, one of the 250 struts cut in half. But still too heavy for my taste.
