Here's some pics of my canopy for Knight 3D #2. My buddy Bill at RC Custom Painting did the work. The photos don't do it justice, it's awesome

And no top clear yet!!
Bill said if theres any interest he can lay up some of these canopys so guys can order a paint job without having to send a blank one.

Please forgive the condition of the workbench

Thanks for compliments guys. This machine is getting the best my beatup credit card can manage

Stock G-10 frames, carbon boom, aluminum hardware in the frame except the bearing blocks, stainless bolts everywhere else, finish caps on everything, metal frame reinforcments from Compass, "Another manufacturers" carbon boom braces and fin mount, Spartan gyro, TT53 Redline, MP-5. Haven't bought servos yet but leaning towards JR 3421's. The canopy paint was done by Bill at RC Custom Painting, shot him an e-mail and let him know your interested in something like this for the 3D!!

The windshield is the align layout the canopy is the Knight 3d. By changing the windshield it gives the canopy a new look.

Thanks again guys for all the comments. The canopy came out better than I thought it would. The windshield shape was my idea cause I don't care for the molded lines of the stock canopy windshield. Bill's canopy's won't have that molded line so the windshield can be whatever shape you want
