E7 and Speed Canopy
« on: June 01, 2015, 03:52:32 PM »
Hi

With the E7 kit - can I use the speed canopy along with the standard landing gear, or will the standard landing skids not fit properly?

Thanks!

Hi John,

Mike is correct, the speed canopy can be used with either the 'carbon flippers' or the standard undercarriage strut setup.  The flippers are great for an ultra low drag sleek setup. 8)

Hope this helps,
Cheers,

if you do decide to run the speed gear on the heli, be careful of one thing.....when the ground is moist after a rain or a dew, they can sink. i usually put my truck floor mat out to take off of and land on. it is also great precision auto practice!
