  • Radian XL canopy

    I've watched a lot of Radian XL videos. I noticed on almost all of them the black canopy has badly alligatored. Why on earth did they make the canopy from foam instead of plastic like the Radian?! It seems the only solution is to paint it white or make a mold from the stock canopy and cast one, or...Just deal with the gatoring. Doc

    It was dumb of them to make it out of foam and paint it black. Mine is really bad from just flying around in the sun. Thought about painting it white but in the air, can't see the bubbling so I leave it.

      Agreed. And I can't believe the replacement canopy is $15. That's ridiculous.

      Did they think we'd only fly the Radian on overcast days?
