Default Canopy fixing

Hi Guys,
Getting close to completion, how are you fixing the canopy at the front? I see only two attachment points at the rear so the front part flops up and down. Probably a real simple answer but I cant see it!! [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img]
thx

It won't flopp up and down when the batteries are in place. Just drill out the two rear holes where marked and inser 2 grommets

Malcolms right,you'll be supprised how firm the fitment is when the batteries are in place.I would suggest fitting the accs and getting the balance point roughly right before driling the mounting holes,I did'nt and ended up having to drill two more holes further back.

Believe me the battery will make the canopy fit nice and tight. Sometimes too tight so you have to enlarge the bottom of the canopy a little. I had to use a different canopy to fit my LiPoly packs because the pack is a bit larger than the normal NiMH pack.
