Default New Hirobo Lepton Fiberglass Canopy

Readyheli.com is pleased to present a new canopy prototype for the Hirobo Lepton EX.

one piece fiberglass canopy.
Grey painted around 50 grams, before being trimmed.
window and nose trimmed about 42 grams.

Stock plastic is about 112 grams.

Nose cut out for cooling.

future availability will be painted white with or without pilot name, ama # or club for a nominal fee.

let me know what you guys think...production is limited, and delivery timeframe will be 2-3 weeks, as we are working with a limited amount of moulds. street price will be around $69.95 cut out and trimmed and ready for your paint scheme. white painted for $89.95.

I'm interested too but it's too soon. I have only 8 flights on record so i will wait a little... Will you sell it just during a limited time?
Beside, it's light but my Lepton is already a little tail heavy. It will be much worse with this canopy. Hum, next bat i will buy will be heavier

90$ seems a bit too high. I can get a fully painted fuse for a Trex 600 for 70$, and the quality is great.

My opinion, Jeff :glasses2:

It is like any other new item; you pay the price to be the first one to own one and then other manufacturers will start producing these and the price will come down.

Cheers

I have been waiting for someone to come with these! (My stock Lepton canopy has some road rash) I "need" a 'plain' one and one painted white. Where do I pay and when do I get them?

Okay, I ordered one.

Can somebody please either point me to a thread, or threads, that talk about all the "essential" upgrades? Where do you get, for instance, the tail raising kit. Also, I see the thread on the pinions that somebody is doing but are there any other sources for anything besides the 24T and 26T stock ones? Makes it really hard to try different setups. I want to try a couple of 5s setups, maybe one with a Z20A, but the 24T would make for some pretty extreme headspeeds.

John, I see on your site you list a 5s setup with a Hacker A30-12XL. Is that using the stock 24T pinion? That would give a 100% h/s around 3400 What is the max this head will take, does anyone know yet?
