Canopy Clearance of Main Gear
« on: September 22, 2011, 06:03:13 PM »
If your canopy is too close to the main gear, simply use one tail blade spacer on each side to move the canopy mount out further. Do not attempt to heat/distort the canopy, you will discolor the paint and potentially burn it. Canopies will vary slightly so some adaptation may be necessary.

Also, do not put grease on the canopy rubber grommets! You WILL lose the canopy in fast backwards flight. I've used a small amount of silicone spray and then wiped it off with good success.

An after market option that works really well is the RC Booya Quick Release. Yes, they have them specifically for the E7! I am using these on the back only for both of my helicopters and they work very well!

Thanks,

I have fitted the Booya mounts too, ordered the set of 4, another tip, the TREX700 rear set are exactly the same length, you can use those if only the rear pair are required.

I have a set of the Helioption 21mm quick release mounts on the rear set on mine and they work well, too.
