I was so impressed when I saw Alex's Canopy that I contacted Heli-Wow to see if they could make one for me. The problem was that I needed the red one. So they made the red one for me, and I also ordered the yellow one that Alex had made as well. They also made a third one and I decided I liked that one as well. I have 3 Mostros, so now I'll have three canopies that are different than stock. I also painted a broken boom black and used my vinyl cutter to make the Avant logo for the tail, so I'll end up with a Red canopy on red boom, yellow canopy on yellow boom and multi color canopy on black boom (all Heli Wow canopies). My Avant canopies can go in the cabinet for spares. I'll post a real picture once they arrive. My hope is that by outsourcing these parts maybe we can keep flying these machines. Seeing Alex and his beautiful canopy was a great inspiration.
Heli-Wow was great to work with. These were done as a custom job, but now that the red and yellow are done, it should be easy to order them. It only took two weeks to go from placing the order to getting these pictures for approval, and their prices were reasonable.

They look great Guy.

I received the Heli Wow canopies today, and all I could say was Wow! They did a great job! All three have a mirror finish that you have to see to really get the depth of. My only point for next time would be to match the red color better, other than that, I am VERY happy. Heres pictures. The Black boom is one I repaired and painted myself, and it's not perfect, but does the job.

Don't be misled by the pictures on their site as Guy's are beautiful.

Guy - those canopies look great on picture - you may have to come on a Saturday Noon or Sunday morning again for some flying - would like to see them in real
