425 basic - canopy replacement
Hey everyone,
I just received my 425 basic kit and everything else to get 500mm blades on it. I am excited to get started on the build. I would liek to get a different canopy for it and I was wondering if anyone had experience with the following canopies: 500 size: http://www.hobbypartz.com/canopy500.html and 550 size: http://www.hobbypartz.com/55figlca.html Just wondering if either of these will fit the 425 plastic frame. I read that the trex 500 canopies fit but I wasn't sure if they would be look large enough with the 500mm blades. I also read that the trex 600 will fit but it is a bit too big. So maybe the trex 550 canopies? thank you, Paul

I think the sloppy stock canopy will cause a lot of vibration, i am looking for a replacement as well. I tried the trex 500 but battery (I use 2x3S in series) is too big for 500 canopy.
see this: http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/s...dProduct=16320 dicussion says it will fit Gaui 425. another one: https://www.helifreak.com/showthread.php?t=241508

thank you for the link.
I am going to order the 550 sized one from HK. I am very tempted to purchase this one as well just to see if it fits: http://www.hobbypartz.com/78p-canopy-550e-a-07.html I'll post next week with some pictures if I get it to work. thanks again.

HI, I received the turnigy 550 sizeCanopy from hobbyking, it is fitting well with allowance on the 425. Here are the pitures for your reference. I am running 2 x 3s 2200mah 25C and the 550 canopy accommodate the batteries without issues.

Thank you for the pics. That turned out very nice.
I ordered the one from HobbyPartz so I hope it fits. If not, it is good to know the HK ones will fit. It arrived today in the mail but I still need to finish the 425 build to see if it fits. This is the one I ordered:

This one from HobbyPartz will be nice for your bird. A pity that I have to pay $45 of postage charge from the USA to Singapore as they only offer USPS Priority, make no sense for me. so i bought the HK canopy.
