If so, I would think any Align or Align clone canopy would work. Can you link up the canopies you bought? It might help us figure out why they wont fit.

If so they are very poorly fitting. Try an Align one. highflyheli.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=24_49&products_id=821

No they are from hobbypartz the part numbers are P-13 and C-17 on there web site. My heli is a clone of the 450 pro I tried talking with them and there answer was there are a few differant models and they don't have that style for my model. I don't think they really know what the got.

I've always used these from Xheli:

www.xheli.com/canopy450.html

You have to drill the holes for the grommets, but other than that they work great. Just take your time aligning it on the frame with the.battery already in place. That way you can make sure it fits perfectly.

I have the C-06 and the C-20 for my EXI 450.

thos all look like v-2 or maybe sport style canopies, ive ran them on the pro but they reguired more then just drilling the gromet holes. had to clearance the bottom around the skids and also clearance them so the canopy clip works.

heres another pic of the fusono this canopy is designed to fit the pro
