    Ahh.. I see. It is a shame they do not make them any more.

    I also have one for the F450 I am building. Think I'll complete this build now after christmas.

    Yes, Bradatech does not stock them anymore which is too bad because it is really nicely done and fits like a glove.
    Did you make your's yourself?

    Yes, I have a vac forming machine. Initially I made some for myself but then other people started wanting them at the club.

    Cool! On your F550 picture there is a trailing tail extending from the dome rearwards. Is that a styling feature or is it covering something?

    I like your F550 design better than your F450 design. What I like about the Bradatech design is that the dome has a organic-ish blending from the dome to the functional form fitment to the F550 chassis. My photo does not do it justice so it's probably hard to see what I mean.

    Nice! I like your F550 "Low Profile" design also.

    Your website says free shipping, but is that only to UK customers?

    No it is worldwide free shipping. I have lots of friends and customers in the USA that use them.

    I just ordered a clear F450 canopy for my girlfriends quad. She wants pink and that wasn't an option.

    She could always spray it. A lot of people order the clear ones to spray.

    Yes, I've painted clear lexan RC car bodies for her so I'll paint it myself. The F450 is a Christmas present. By the time the canopy arrives I should have the F450 finished.

    @Andrew - Sorry for the slow post but I wanted to let you know I received the canopy on January 23rd and it is awesome!
    I am really impressed with the quality and also the material you used. You have a tip-top product here! Definitely two thumbs up!

    Here are a couple photos so any other members considering a DJI F450 canopy can check it out. I can absolutely recommend this to anyone looking for a high quality and heavy duty canopy to protect their electronics from crashes and moisture.

    Thank you Andrew!

    Have you cut that out and tried it on the frame yet? I'd like to see it when you do.

    I haven't cut it out yet because I need to paint it first and we wanted a particular color paint which should arrive in about a week.
