Custom Blue Canopy for MCX

Here is another paper canopy template for e-flites Blade MCX RC Heli. To use this canopy, print out the attached pdf file. It will look the best if you print using photo quality gloss paper.

Steps in making your canopy:

1. Cut out the perimeter of the canopy and fin shape using scissors.


2. Using a pointed knife, cut out the canopy mounting holes on each side panel


3. Crease along the two folds lines on each side of the bottom tab and fold them under so they align with the canopy sides.


4. Fold in the two small nose tabs and apply glue.


5. Use white glue to attach the bottom tabs to the sides


6. Reach inside the canopy with a pen and secure the two small tabs to the nose.


7. After the glue has dried attach the canopy and secure with the original grommets.


8. Cut out the small rectangle shapes on the rear fin so that you can slide it onto the tail boom. If you have problems with the fin staying upright, apply a piece of transparent tape across the boom at the rectangle cutouts.
