e-Lite Machines Corona > "Compatible" Canopies?

Hi all,

Im looking for a nice canopy thats compatible with the rather long aluminum crutch nose of the corona 120. Prefferably a transparent lexan one so I can custom spray it into tangello with my name and some rivots spraypainted on. Should look lovely with the purple adonised crutch and tail.

If youre wondering what tangello is, heres an example of what I want to do: picture

The problem is, I dont know what scale the corona is. I assume the raptor line is tolarge, and the T-rex stuff is to little. So who knows some samescale helicopters that have nice canopies?

Grtz,
Sven

Raptor canopy is way, way too big.

Darthdrk has a slew of canopies: http://darthdrk.4t.com/

I've seen someone put an Eolo Pro and Kyosho EP canopy on. T-rex might work if you do some work on alum. crutch.

T-rex wont fit, ive just seen a pic with a rex next to a corona, darn thats a peasize helicopter.

I like the alien canopy from that darkdrk fellow, but for some reason everyone I show it to, just starts laughing at me..

Im also not prepared to hack my precious crutch to pieces to fit a canopy.

Just wondering, does the origional canopy also come in transparent?

That "Alien" canopy is very weird indeed. The "New Canopy: Eco 8,16, Corona, Eolo, Ballistic Tech Styrene" looks nice. (I've been thinking of getting that.) Someone over on RC Groups had a picture posted and it looked interesting. Even the first "(LMH and EOLO) Canopy design" with air scoop is a lot better than stock.

Make your own. It's much more rewarding and the possibilities are endless. I always wanted an R22 so I made this one.

T-rex wont fit


The heck it won't.....

I've been using TREX or MX400 canopies for a while now...it doesn't cover everything, but I hate the linkages getting covered anyway..

Yeah, that looks real nice.. but not really.

No offence, buy it looks like a fat guy wearing a size S T-shirt, the gut is showing.
