Booya!

I picked up some RC Booya quick release canopy mounts to replace the Lynx canopy mounts I had been using. The Lynx mounts worked well, but hurt my fingers after screwing them on and off for a few flights. I started using a hex wrench with them, but that defeated the purpose of a quick release canopy mount. 

AMain hobbies started carrying RC Booya quick release canopy mounts recently, which I saw other guys at the field using. Before they were only available from smaller heli specific hobby shops, which is why I haven't gotten around to getting some. But I order parts from Amain all the time, so I was finally able to pick a set up :)

They install like any other canopy mount, but I needed to enlarge the grommet mounting hole to 0.343 in, so that the larger quick release pin grommet would fit in the canopy. 

I like how much easier and faster it is to mount the canopy!  I can't wait to try them out at the field.
