my Original Align one cracks when you mount/unmount it... Sounds like the same thing...

Further to my previous feedback, the HK canopy is an easier fit than Align original albeit weaker structure and shorter length.

I found the grommets is a bit loose, did you experience the same? Need to figure out a way to better secure the canopy to avoid it falling off.

Don't have a 250 to try* still waiting impatiently for the HK250. Is the grommet ID hole too large for the T250's canopy post or the grommet OD slot too wide resulting in a loose grommet to canopy fitting?

 Burnaby 529 points

Took a closer look, these grommets have like double the OD slot width than the white ones that came with the HK450. They slide around alot on the canopy. Time to bring out the hot glue gun.

Futhermore the ID hole is larger making for a sloppy fit on the canopy post. Time to abandon them altogether when proper fitting grommets are 4 for a buck.

They deliver it precracked so you don't have to diy *-)

yes I ordered two, one came with cracks. its weak. But, for $X dollars, came with mounts = good enough.

they are smaller than trex250 original though.

This might be a generic 200/250 size canopy, so you will have to drill the holes in the right place for your heli.

its like the 450 canopy, drill your own holes. which allows for the canopy to sit further forward when using larger batteries. Trust me, its needed on the trex 250, as it is a super tight fit.

exactly!! :o)
maybe its a sign?

 MegaTesla 576 points

I really hope it is a sign!!

Sure hope it's a sign of that long waited 250. Maybe HC goes by the lunar week which is 28 days in their calendar.
