I crash a lot so I don't want to go all out on Canopy Yet. I think I just get cheapest one that just will do.

Will a Trex500 Blank Canopy fit on there?

plastic frame?

Yeah. Plastic.

I try to glue the ones in the kit together but failed. Looking for something cheap that work on there for time being.

don't think the 500 will fit...the 550 plastic canopy's cheap...or trhe esky 600 one

Ditto what Marco said. I use the canopy from the E-Smart. It's 600 size but practically indestructible. You can throw it at the wall, drop it off a building, and all that happens is the paint flakes off. I've got close with Mother Earth a few times and the canopy laughed at me. It seems to me if you blow on a Hurri 550 cheapo canopy, it will develop cracks. The E-Smart canopy is like a super thick plastic milk jug.

Sweet, I guess I go find a E-Smart ones then. One that came with are pretty weak, my failed CA gluing 2 part together attempt it already cracked. I still got CA on my fingers, lol.

Hopefully E-Smart Canopy are better than Honey Bee King3 ones.
