Whether you're a seasoned RC pilot or new to the world of RC helicopters in the UK, this genuine Blade component ensures your Fusion 700 looks as impressive as it performs. The painted canopy is designed as a direct replacement, making it the perfect choice when your existing canopy becomes damaged, discoloured, or simply needs refreshing after extended use.
As an optional spare component, this canopy allows you to customise and maintain your RC helicopter to the highest standards. For UK RC helicopter pilots who demand quality and authenticity, this Blade-manufactured canopy provides the reliable fit and finish you expect from genuine OEM parts. The straightforward installation process means you can have your helicopter looking flight-ready in minutes, without the need for specialist tools or complicated modifications.

Having a spare painted canopy on hand ensures you're never grounded for long, and it represents excellent value compared to purchasing a completely new helicopter simply due to canopy damage.

Technical Performance
The Blade BLH-1700 painted canopy is engineered to the exacting standards you'd expect from Blade, a recognised manufacturer in the RC helicopter industry. The canopy itself is manufactured from high-quality materials designed to withstand the demands of regular RC helicopter operation, including minor impacts and environmental exposure typical of UK flying conditions. The pre-applied paint finish is applied to factory standards, ensuring consistent colour and durability that will maintain its appearance through numerous flights. The four grommets provided are precision-engineered to fit the canopy attachment points on the Fusion 700 fuselage, whilst the two retaining clips work in conjunction with the grommets to create a secure, vibration-resistant fit that prevents canopy movement during flight. The engineering tolerances are tight enough to prevent any unwanted movement during normal operations, yet the installation process remains simple enough that any RC helicopter pilot can complete the swap without specialist knowledge. This component represents genuine OEM quality, manufactured to the same standards as the original canopy supplied with new Fusion 700 helicopters.
